🍫🥄 Chocolate Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies
Chewy, fudgy, and loaded with chocolate and peanut butter — these cookies come together in minutes and are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.
Ingredients:
-
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
-
2 cups granulated sugar
-
½ cup milk
-
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
½ cup creamy peanut butter
-
2 tsp vanilla extract
-
3 cups quick-cooking oats
-
Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions:
-
Prep a surface:
Line a baking sheet or counter with parchment or wax paper. -
Make the chocolate mixture:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder.
Stir continuously until everything is melted and smooth.
Bring to a rolling boil, then let it boil for exactly 1 minute — set a timer! -
Remove from heat:
Immediately stir in the peanut butter, vanilla, and salt (if using) until smooth. -
Add oats:
Stir in the oats quickly until fully combined. -
Scoop & cool:
Drop spoonfuls onto the prepared paper using a spoon or cookie scoop.
Let them cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
📝 Tips:
-
Use quick oats for best texture; old-fashioned oats can make the cookies too chewy or loose.
-
Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for a firmer texture.
-
Want a nut-free version? Sub the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or leave it out and add a splash more vanilla.
Would you like a version with less sugar, or maybe a chocolate-coconut variation?
