Chocolate Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies Recipe
I love to make homemade cookies for my family but on some days, I just don’t have 2 hours to spare to make them. Plus, if it is during the summer season when temperatures outside are blazing 90+ degrees, I don’t want to turn on my oven and heat up the kitchen.
To solve all of those problems I turn to no-bake or stove-top cookie recipes and use about a dozen different recipes to make various cookies. Today, I am sharing one of those with you and over the coming weeks, I will share more.
These cookies are delicious and are super easy-to-make. My family eats them up in rapid fashion when I make them.
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine
- 2 1/2 cups quick cooking oatmeal
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- In a large saucepan combine together the granulated sugar, milk, cocoa powder and butter. Bring mixture up to a boil and boil for one minute, stirring constantly.
- Turn off the heat. Stir in the quick cooking oatmeal, creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract. Keep stirring until all ingredients are well-combined and the peanut butter has melted.
- Lay down wax paper or a nonstick silicone baking mat. Drop cookies by the tablespoon onto the paper or nonstick baking mat. Let them cool for one hour and then place them into an airtight container. Will keep for up to one week.
What kind of cookies do you enjoy making for your family? Got any cooking making and baking tips to share with us?
