No Bake Cookies

These no-bake cookies were among the very first that I ever baked as a child, and they remain a perennial favorite.

The combination of cocoa powder and peanut butter results in a wonderfully fudgy treat. And let’s face it, who can resist chocolate and peanut butter? Around our house, it’s a traditional favorite that never gets old.

For those late-night munchies, try these no-bake cookies. a snack for after school. Or really every time you’re in the mood for something straightforward and delicious.

When you combine peanut butter, chocolate powder, milk, sugar, and quick oats, it’s easy to get things right.

2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
3 cups quick cooking oats
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter

1. In a medium saucepan, bring the cocoa, sugar, milk and butter to a boil over medium heat. It’s important to bring these to a boil verrrrry slowly. Once they reach a rolling boil, boil for 60 seconds. Use a timer!
2. Pull the saucepan off the heat after boiling. Add in the oats, peanut butter and vanilla. Mix well.
