Oh no bake cookies! Something simple, tasty, and VERY easy to make. For a quick bake sale item or dessert to go with dinner, they're great! My mom actually hasn't made them in a while, but i've been making them for myself and friends lately. They're also a more 'healthier' dessert despite the sugar in them. So without further adieu here is the no bake recipe.
Ingredients
2 cups white sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened coco powder**
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter***
1 tsp vanilla
1 pinch salt
about 1/2 cup peanutbutter
3 cups oats
**I tend to use coco powder mix for this ingredient it works well if you don't just HAPPEN to have unsweetened cooking coco powder on hand (which I usually don't haha) gives it a different taste depending on what you're using so experiment!
***I generally substitute the butter for olive oil as well. If you wish to substitute use a 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Found at this website.
Assembly
Over medium heat in a sauce pan combine sugar, coco powder, milk and butter. Bring to a boil and continue to cook for about 1 min. You'll have a nice liquid chocolate like mixture (that smells amazing!). Remove from heat and add the oats, peanutbutter, vanilla, and salt. Mix together until well blended.
On a flat surface lay out wax paper or tin foil and spoon the mixture out in rounded spoonfuls onto the waxed paper/tin foil. Let the cookies sit for about and hour and enjoy!
Final Thoughts
These store easily and are quite delicious! A great after school study snack too! Hope you enjoy!
