Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients and Boil: In a saucepan, combine the sugar, milk, and cocoa powder. Heat the mixture over medium heat and bring it to a boil, then let it cook for 1 minute to ensure the sugar is dissolved and the cocoa is fully incorporated.
- Mix in Peanut Butter and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the peanut butter melts completely into the hot cocoa base.
- Add Oats: Add the rolled oats to the saucepan and mix well until all the oats are thoroughly coated with the cocoa and peanut butter mixture, creating a thick dough.
- Form Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie mixture onto wax paper, spacing them evenly to prevent sticking.
- Set Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, until they firm up and can be easily handled.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother texture; chunky peanut butter can be used for added crunch.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- These cookies do not require baking, saving time and energy.
- If desired, you can add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
