Boiled Cookie Recipe (aka No-Bake Cookies)
A quick chocolate oatmeal cookie made by boiling instead of baking!
Servings 18 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups quick oats (you can use old-fashioned oats but they will be chewier)
Instructions
- Melt stick of butter in large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add sugar, milk and unsweetened cocoa powder. Continue stirring constantly over med-high heat until mixture comes to a rolling boil.
- Once it's boiling, stop stirring and let it boil, untouched for 60 seconds.
- Turn off heat and add peanut butter and teaspoonfuls of vanilla extract.
- Stir in oats until completely incorporated.
- Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop cookies onto parchment paper or waxed paper. (I actually used a 1/3 measuring cup for bigger, more equal-sized cookies.)
- Let cool completely and serve!
