Easy Classic No Bake Cookies Recipe

There is nothing better than a Classic No Bake Cookie Recipe, especially when they are easy to make. Chocolate, peanut butter and oatmeal combine to make one phenomenal cookie.
Prep Time20 minutes
Total Time20 minutes
Course: Dessert
Servings: 30 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk {I used non-fat}
  • 4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups quick cook oats

Instructions

  • Combine butter, sugar, milk and cocoa in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil {stirring frequently}. Let the mixture boil for 1 minute while stirring the entire time {we don't want the bottom to burn}.
  • Remove saucepan from the heat. Add peanut butter and vanilla, stir to combine. When the mixture is smooth add the oatmeal and stir so that the oats are completely coated.
  • Scoop 1.5 tablespoons of mixture at a time onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Let your classic no bake cookies cool until set {about 15 minutes}. Serve and enjoy. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
