How to make these easy no bake cookies

  1. Combine the sugar, butter, milk, and cocoa powder in to a large saucepan. On medium heat, stir frequently until everything melts together.
  2. Next, add in your peanut butter to this melted chocolate sauce. Then, bring to boil stirring constantly so nothing burns.
  3. Once it reaches boiling, remove from heat and add your quick cooking oats to your sauce pan, and stir. Then, let them sit for 5 minutes so the mixture gets thicker.
  4. Finally, scoop these cooking onto a cookie sheet lined with wax paper to keep them from sticking. Let them set until hard, or you can speed this up by putting them in the refrigerator.

FAQ when using this recipe

What is the best kind of oatmeal to make no bake cookies?

Quick cooking oats are the best kind to use because they don't take long to get soft.

If you only have old-fashioned oats, you will want to add these to your boiling mixture and cook them for 5 minutes before removing them from the heat for another 5 minutes.

How do you freeze these peanut butter no bake cookies?

Place your cookies in a freezer bag and then into the freezer. When you are ready to eat them, let them defrost in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

    I just made these cookies from your recipe. My daughter loves it.
    Although, some cookies were soft on the top. I don't know to what extent that made an impact on the taste.Anyway, thanks a lot for your recipe.

      I'm glad you enjoyed them Jeremy! I had a few cookies that were soft on the top, but it seemed to help when I placed them in the refrigerator for a little bit longer.
