Why have I never made a no bake cookie before? Seriously! I don't think it gets any easier than these and from start to finish it took me 15 minutes. I will admit, they are more like a candy or fudge than a cookie, but we still really enjoyed them. Adam was so kind to run to the store and grab quick cooking oats (they are imperative to this recipe) and I'm sure he's glad he did. There were lots of sneaky hands in the cookie jar today!
1/2 cup butter
5 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3 cup quick cooking oats
Start by setting out a few pans lined with parchment paper. In a large pot, melt together the butter, milk, cocoa powder and sugar. Stirring frequently, bring the chocolate coating to a boil. Let the chocolate mixture boil rapidly for 1 minute and 30 seconds (okay okay, I know this seems silly but it's really important so your cookies set). Remove from the heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter until melted. Fold in the oatmeal until its all coated. Drop spoonfuls of the cookies onto the prepared pans and allow to cool completely. Enjoy!
