No-Bake Chocolate Cookies
Growing up, my mom used to call these gems “chocolate drops.” A fun and easy treat that requires no eggs, flour or baking!
Servings: 21 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 c. salted butter cut into cubes
- 1/2 c. whole milk
- 1 c. granulated sugar
- 1 c. brown sugar packed
- 1/4 c. cocoa powder
- 2/3 c. creamy peanut butter
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 c. old fashioned oats
Instructions
- Line two baking sheets with parchment or wax paper; set aside.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in milk, sugars, and cocoa powder stirring constantly; bring mixture to a boil stirring constantly.
- Once mixture begins to boil, boil for exactly 1 minute (Use a timer, it’s important not to over or under boil) then remove from heat.
- Whisk in peanut butter and vanilla extract, stirring until peanut butter is completely melted into the mixture.
- Using a wood spoon, stir in oats until well coated. Drop cookie mixture by 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoonful size onto prepared baking sheet.
- Allow cookies to cool before serving. The cookies will harden as they cool. To speed things up, refrigerate them until set.
