Chocolate No Bake Cookies
These chocolate no bake cookies are Jeff's version of this well-known treat, and there is no easier or faster dessert you can make that tastes this good without even having to turn on the oven!
Servings 8
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups Sugar white granulated
- ½ cup Milk whole or 2%
- ¼ lb Butter 1 stick, salted
- 3 TBS Cocoa heaping
- ½ cup Peanut butter I prefer crunchy, but smooth is fine
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp Salt course sea salt is best
- 3 cups Quick oats "cooks in 1-minute"
Instructions
- For best results, lay out ingredients into individual containers or bowls before getting started making the cookies.
- Add sugar, milk, cocoa, and butter to a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Note: The butter will melt better if it's cut up into smaller pieces or pre-melted in the microwave.
- Bring the saucepan to a rolling boil and allow it to boil for exactly 2 minutes and 45 seconds while stirring constantly. Stir in the peanut butter, vanilla, and salt, and immediately remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Fold in the three cups of oats quickly, and the mixture is ready to be made into cookies.
- Use a cookie scoop or silicone spatula and spoon the cookies out onto parchment paper. Use the back of a spatula or spoon to flatten them slightly.
- Once the cookies have set up, enjoy them with a tall glass of milk or store them in an airtight container.
- Enjoy!
