How to make No Bake Cookies
The process to make these cookies is so easy. Follow my quick steps and instructions and you will have treats on your tongue in no time.
- In a saucepan over medium heat combine the butter, sugar, cocoa and milk. Bring this mixture to a boil and allow to boil for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
- Take the pot from the stove and stir in the peanut butter, vanilla and oats.
- Scoop the cookies out onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Two spoons can be use to scoop the cookie dough and drop onto the baking sheet, or use a cookie scoop.
Easy No Bake Cookies
Now that you have got the cookies scooped and on the baking sheet, sit back and put your feet up. All you have to do now is wait until the cookies cool and the chocolate sets. Depending on the temperature in your home, this can take as little as 10 minutes.
To speed up the process and get those cookies in your belly faster, the sheet pan can be placed in either the refrigerator or the freezer until the chocolate hardens and is set.
