NO BAKE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
Author: Country Cupboard Cookies
Recipe type: Cookies
Serves: 18
- ½ cup butter (4 ounces)
- ½ cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 2 cups white granulated sugar (14 ounces)
- 4 TBL unsweetened cocoa
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tsp pure vanilla
- ¼ tsp salt
- 3 cups quick oatmeal
- Melt butter with milk in saucepan over low heat.
- Add sugar and cocoa and cook until boiling, stirring to make sure that cocoa is incorporated without lumps. Boil one minute.
- Remove pan from heat, add peanut butter, vanilla and salt. Stir until peanut butter is melted and mixed in.
- Add quick oats.
- Mix together then drop by spoonfuls or small ice cream scoop onto parchment or waxed paper lined cookie sheet.
- Cool and enjoy!
Be sure to use Quick Oats. I tried using rolled oats, but didn't like the results. They were crumbly and dry.
I use creamy Jiff Peanut Butter for the best results.
Work quickly once you add the oatmeal to the chocolate mixture. The cookies will thicken once the mixture starts to cool.
