No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
I remember my Mom making these when I was little. Very happy to have this recipe now. I made this on 31 Mar 2017 and these are exactly as I remember them, fantastic and easy!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, this is 1/2 of a standard block
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/2 cup peanut butter, creamy
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick cooking rolled oats
Instructions
- Add the butter, sugars, milk, cocoa, and salt to a large sauce pan or pot.
- Bring to a rolling boil and hold for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Add peanut butter and stir until melted, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- Now mix in 2 1/2 cups of oats until completely coated, if it looks wet enough, add 1/4 cup at a time from the remaining 1/2 cup and mix in until coated.
- Drop the cookies by tablespoons onto wax paper or foil and let cool until set.
