No-Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
4 tbsp. (¼ stick) butter
¾ c. sugar
¼ c. milk
2 tbsp. cocoa powder (natural or Dutch process)
¼ c. peanut butter, heaping
1½ c. quick cooking oats
¼ tsp. salt
¾ tsp. vanilla
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add salt and sugar, cook for 2-3 minutes or until sugar has dissolved (for the most part).
2. Add milk and cocoa powder, whisk until smooth. Bring mixture to a low simmer. Simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and pour in vanilla. Then add peanut butter. Mix until smooth. Add oats and mix until completely coated with the peanut butter chocolate mixture.
3. Using a small cookie scoop, place balls of dough onto a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Pat down with the palm of your hand to flatten (if desired). Refrigerate for 5-10 minutes or until cookies are set.

Woah! Freaky! We seriously just made these to take on our road trip with us last week! Aren’t they just the best? Mine weren’t as perfect as yours though 🙂 We love to use old-fashioned oats in ours.
I’ve been addicted to no-bakes since I was a kid, I think it’s all the chocolate!
I just made these tonight, soooooo easy and sooooo yummy! Thanks so much for the recipe 🙂
No problem! Thanks for giving them a try!
It says 4 Tablespoons of butter or 1/4 stick ….. That is wrong!! 4 Tablespoons of butter is 1/2 stick!! Just in case some aren’t familiar with baking and measurements!
Is it 4 tablespoons or 1/4 stick??
1/4 cup (stick) is the same as 4T 🙂
I just made these tonight, except I made them sugar free using stevia. The were really good!
Happy to hear that! Thanks for giving them a try!
