Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of butter, and 1 cup of dry cocoa powder.
- Stir frequently until the mixture is smooth and the butter is fully melted.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Let it boil for 1 minute without stirring. This step is crucial for the cookies to set properly.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Quickly stir in 1 cup of peanut butter, 1 tbsp of vanilla extract, and 1 dash of salt until the peanut butter is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
4. Mix in the Oats:
- Add 3 cups of oats to the saucepan and stir until fully combined and the oats are evenly coated.
- Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. Aim for each cookie to be about 1-2 inches in diameter.
- Gently press down the tops to shape them into cookie forms, if desired.
- Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch.
- Once set, enjoy your delicious peanut butter-chocolate oatmeal no-bake cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Tips:
- Measure ingredients accurately: For the best results, ensure all ingredients are measured accurately, especially the oats, peanut butter, and cocoa powder, to maintain the right consistency.
- Use quick oats: Quick oats tend to blend better into the cookies, resulting in a smoother texture compared to old-fashioned rolled oats.
- Stir constantly: When heating the mixture of sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa powder, make sure to stir constantly to avoid burning and achieve a smooth consistency.
- Allow to cool completely: Let the cookies cool completely on a lined baking sheet before serving to ensure they set properly and hold their shape.
- Store properly: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them.
Enjoy your delicious peanut butter-chocolate oatmeal no-bake cookies! These treats are not only simple to prepare but also offer a delightful blend of flavors and textures. They're perfect for satisfying sweet cravings or sharing with family and friends.
