It is so hot right now. Nothing will keep me from cooking, but a sweet treat that didn't involve turning on the oven definitely appealed in this weather. As it turns out, these are delicious but so rich that it's more like candy than cookies. My original batch took the cookie idea seriously and made 24 cookie-sized confections. However at this size, they are almost overwhelming. Next time I make them, I'm going to aim for a much smaller size and try to get 62 out of the recipe.
No Bake Cookies
- 1/2 c butter
- 2 c sugar
- 1/2 c cocoa
- 1/2 c milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 c peanut butter
- 3 c rolled oats
- Warm butter, sugar, cocoa, and milk in a pot over medium heat. Stir until sugar is completely melted and ingredients are combined. Bring to a slow boil and boil for 1 minute.
- Remove from the heat and add vanilla and peanut butter. Stir until fully combined.
- Add mixture to rolled oats and stir until oats are fully covered.
- Drop by the Tablespoonful on wax paper and let sit until chocolate fully sets. (At least an hour - the big size I made took close to 3 hours.)
