Description
🍪 Enjoy Quick & Easy No-Bake Cookies with a perfect blend of peanut butter and chocolate flavors.
🥜 These cookies require no oven and are packed with creamy peanut butter goodness, making them a fast and delightful treat.
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 and 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (avoid natural styles that need stirring)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 and 1/4 cups quick-cooking oats (old-fashioned oats can be used if pulsed in a food processor)
Instructions
1. Measure and prepare all ingredients before starting. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, and milk. Stir frequently until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth.
3. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Use a candy or instant-read thermometer to ensure the mixture reaches 230°F and boil for exactly 60 seconds without stirring.
4. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.
5. Add the oats and mix thoroughly until evenly coated.
6. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared sheets, using about 1.5 tablespoons per cookie, and gently flatten if desired.
7. Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for 45 minutes to an hour, or refrigerate for faster setting.
Notes
📏 Pre-measure all ingredients for a smooth process.
⏱️ Start the 60-second timer only once the mixture is vigorously boiling.
🌡️ A thermometer ensures the correct boiling temperature, helping the cookies to set properly.
