Becky's Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
A classic no-bake cookie made with chocolate, peanut butter, and oats—quick to make, family-tested, and perfect when you need a sweet treat without turning on the oven.
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- ½ cup butter (unsalted)
- ½ cup milk
- ⅓ cup cocoa
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 3 cups oats (instant is the best)
Instructions
- In a large pot, add sugar, butter, and milk. Bring to a boil and allow to boil for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and stir in cocoa, vanilla, and peanut butter until smooth.
- Last, add in the oats. Stir until fully combined.
- Spoon out onto wax paper and allow to cool completely.
Notes
- Remember, you can always eat these warm right out of the pot. Simply place them in a bowl and enjoy.
- Do not skip allowing the milk, sugar, and butter boil for one minute. This is very important to the process.
