This recipe for no-bake cookies is the first cookie I ever learned to make as a child. They’re very delicious with peanut butter and oatmeal. You can eat them fresh out of the bowl with a spoon, which is delicious with a glass of milk besides. This recipe was my grandmother’s, and my mother taught it to her children, and I will to mine. I hope you have as much fun making this either by yourself or with your children, as I did with my mom. Separate cookies with waxed paper if you’re putting them in a tin or baggie to prevent sticking.
Ingredients
- 2 cups white sugar
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats
- ½ cup peanut butter, or more to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Combine sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa powder in a large saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Cook and stir until butter is melted and mixture is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 2
Remove from heat and add oats, peanut butter, and vanilla; mix until thoroughly combined. Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto sheets of waxed paper. Let cool until solid, 20 to 30 minutes.
Tips
You can use 1-minute oats, but it changes the flavor.
