Directions:

  1. Melt the butter, sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla together in a medium sauce pan. Then, add in the peanut butter.

  2. Let this boil for about 3 minutes and then remove it from the heat. Pour the quick cooking oats into your peanut butter and chocolate sauce. Stir well and then let sit for about another 5 minutes.

  3. Lay wax paper on a cookie sheet and place a tree cookie cutter on it. Then, scoop the chocolate no bake cookies mixture into the cookie cutter.

    These look delicious! I love that this Christmas cookie recipe requires no baking — that’s my favorite kind of “baking” 🙂

      While I do love baking, sometimes making things that are no bake really are more fun! Glad you like them Charissa. 🙂

    I’m going to have to try these they look really good and I don’t have to heat up the oven. I wouldn’t have thought to use a cookie cutter this way to still get the shape, great idea! I think I would also look for some little red and blue candies to put on for ornaments.

      That’s an excellent idea Shannah! I went with a more plain looking tree, but you could definitely add some fun candies to act as ornaments. 🙂
