These no-bake cocoa and peanut butter oat cookies have been a favorite of mine since I was a girl. And after years of enjoying them growing up, they are still a favorite of my now-grown children. They’re quick to prepare and need no oven, just a little time to cool before you enjoy them.

Yield: About 2 dozen cookies
Prep time: About 10 minutes
Cooling time: About 1 hour

Ingredients:

• 3 cups dry oats
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
• 1 stick butter
• 1/2 cup whole milk

Directions:

1. Melt butter in a medium size pot on the stovetop over medium heat. If using unsalted butter add a pinch of salt.
2. Add sugar to melted butter.
3. Add milk.
4. Stir in cocoa until combined. 
5. Raise heat and stop stirring. 
6. Wait for the bubbles in the bottom of the pot to come together in the center and start a timer for one minute. 
7. The mixture should come to a full boil during the minute.
8. Remove the pot from heat after one minute. 
9. Add vanilla to the mixture.
10. Add peanut butter and stir mixture until incorporated. 
11. Combine oats.
12. Scoop the mixture using a cookie dough or ice cream scooper onto parchment paper-lined cookie sheets.
13. Allow cookies to cool completely on the counter.
14. Enjoy!
