How to Make No Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
My husband swears this cookie dough is like peanut butter heaven! You’ll love how quick and easy they are to make too.
First, prepare a cookie sheet by covering it with wax paper or parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, butter and milk. Bring to a rapid boil and allow to boil for one full minute while gently stirring.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and peanut butter. Mix in the quick cooking oats, stirring until the mixture begins to cool.
If needed, transfer the mixture to a large bowl if your pan isn’t large enough to also hold the oats.
After the mixture begins to cool, mix in the miniature chocolate chips.
Drop the cookie mixture by heaping teaspoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet, or use a cookie scoop like this if you want uniform balls.
Chill in the refrigerator until the cookies are set (about 30 minutes to 1 hour).
Baking Tips for Chocolate Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies
Here are a few tips to help make sure your no bake cookies turn out perfect:
Gather and measure out all of your ingredients before you start making the cookies to help ensure the process goes smoothly.
For best results, let your mixture boil for a full minute. If it’s helpful, set a timer for 60 seconds. If you remove it from heat too early, your cookies might not set properly.
I recommend giving yourself at least 30 minutes to 1 hour for the cookies to chill in the refrigerator and firm up. You can also totally enjoy them at room temperature too, but they’ll be a little soft and sticky.
Want to experiment with different flavors? Next time try using raisins, mini M&M’s, coconut flakes, crunchy peanut butter or even a little maple syrup.
Making a double batch is also easy. Just double every ingredient!
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Oatmeal cookies are delicious and versatile, and can be as complicated or easy as you want! For a simple recipe, you might enjoy 3-Ingredient Oatmeal Cookies.
