Ingredients:
3 c. Quick Oats. The oats give this classic cookie that chewy texture that makes this recipe oh so good. I recommend quick oats, but you can also use old-fashioned. Just keep in mind it will create a chewier, thicker texture.
1/2 c. Crunchy Peanut Butter. You can use crunchy or creamy. But I think the crunchy creates a perfect texture. A little crunch in every bite. But again, let your taste buds (and personal preference) lead the way!
3 T. Unsweetened Cocoa Powder. This gives the cookies that delicious chocolate flavor.
2 T. Sugar. This recipe uses white sugar. But you can also change it up by using half white sugar and half brown sugar. In fact, for a completely new twist I also really like just using all brown sugar. Takes this cookie to a whole new level.
1/2 c.Milk. I use and recommend whole milk for these classic no-bakes. But you can also use 2% milk, skim milk, or even almond milk. Again, mix and match for your personal taste buds (or dietary needs).
1/2 c. Butter. I recommend that you use salted butter. But if you only have unsalted in the refrigerator, simply add 1/4 teaspoon of salt in with the butter.
Vanilla Extract. This seems to be a requirement in nearly every dessert. The same is true for this one. You can never go wrong with a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
How to Make No-Bake Cookies
Before you get started, I recommend that you gather all your ingredients and measure them out. This makes the entire recipe super smooth and simple. Just a few minutes of prep work can make all the difference in the kitchen.
In a medium saucepan, bring the cocoa, sugar, milk and butter to a boil over medium heat. It’s important to bring these to a boil verrrrry slowly. Once they reach the boiling point, boil for 60 seconds.
Pull the saucepan off the heat after boiling. Add in the oats, peanut butter and vanilla. Mix well.
Allow the mixture to cool for 1 minute and then drop by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper.
Tips & Tricks For The Best No-Bake Cookies
Patience is key: do not spoon the mixture onto the wax paper while hot! Allow it to cool so the cookies will be easier to form.
You may also refrigerate for 10 minutes to speed up the cooling process.
