Description
Simple, quick cookies made without an oven, combining chocolate and peanut butter flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
Instructions
- Combine sugar, milk, cocoa powder, and butter in a medium saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for exactly one minute without stirring after it starts boiling.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Quickly stir in the rolled oats until they are evenly coated.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto wax paper-lined baking sheets.
- Let the cookies cool and set completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Work quickly once the oat mixture is ready, as it sets fast.
- If the mixture seems too thick to stir, briefly return it to low heat to soften slightly.
