Whip up these easy no-bake oatmeal cookies with pantry staples for a quick, chewy, chocolatey treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, butter, milk, and cocoa powder.
  3. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  4. Boil for exactly 1 minute, then remove from heat.
  5. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Add the rolled oats and stir until well combined.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Let the cookies cool and set completely, about 30 minutes.

Notes

  • For chewier cookies, boil the mixture for 1 minute. For firmer cookies, boil for 1.5 minutes.
  • Ensure your peanut butter is creamy for the best texture.
  • Old-fashioned rolled oats work best for structure.
