Chocolate No-Bake Cookies Recipe

Category: Recipes

Ready in: Under 30 minutes ?





Difficulty: 3 (1=easiest :: hardest=5)
Serves/Makes: 36






INGREDIENTS:

2 cups sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup extra crunchy peanut butter
3 cups instant oatmeal



PREPARATION:


Lay out foil or wax paper BEFORE you make the cookies.

Combine the sugar, cocoa, milk and butter in a saucepan. Bring to a heavy boil for exactly one minute. Remove from heat.

Add the vanilla, peanut butter and oatmeal; stir well to mix up all the ingredients and plop spoon sized amounts onto foil or wax paper and let cool.



COOK'S NOTES:

The key to making these set right is to boil them for one minute exactly. You start counting the minute once the mixture comes to a ROLLING BOIL. Use a clock with a second hand or a digital with a stop watch for accuracy.

I personally have NO PATIENCE at this point and eat a couple of them while they're still super hot and a bit gooey. (I usually burn my mouth, but boy is it worth it!)

If they never really get firm, then you didn't boil them long enough.

If they get too crumbly, then you boiled them too long. Adjust accordingly the next time you make them.

You can cut this recipe in half if you'd like fewer cookies.

Leftover cookies (if there are any): heat them in the microwave on a plate for about ten seconds to get that just-made warm, chocolatey gooeyness. Mmmmmm.....
