No-bake cookies are a classic, old-fashioned treat that comes together without ever turning on the oven! Made with simple pantry staples like oats, peanut butter, cocoa, milk, and sugar, these cookies are quick, easy, and irresistibly delicious.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sugar (451 grams)
- 1/2 cup Evaporated Milk (122 grams)
- 1 Stick Unsalted Butter (113.4 grams)
- 1/2 cup Peanut Butter (126 grams)
4 TBSP Cocoa Powder (good quality) or 1 cup Chocolate Chips (I would use semi-sweet or ½ milk and ½ semi-sweet if I used chips instead of Cocoa Powder)
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 cups Quick Cooking Oats (190 grams) You may want to increase the amount of Oats if you want a thicker cookie.
Directions
- Over medium heat, add butter, sugar, evaporated milk, and cocoa powder (or chocolate Chips) to a medium size saucepan. Stir until all the butter has melted
- Once mixture starts to boil, stop stirring, and cook the mixture to 230 degrees F.
- At 230 degrees remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in peanut butter until it is completely melted and mixed into the mixture.
- Add vanilla and stir until incorporated
- Add quick cooking oats and stir until incorporated
- I let the mixture cool down for a few minutes before scooping. If the mixture is really warm the cookies will spread more.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or wax paper and start scooping the cookies onto the pan.
- Scoop quickly so the mixture doesn't set up before you have them all scooped out.
- Mixture usually sets within 30 minutes
