Extra Rich Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal No Bake Cookies image

With all the variations on RecipeZaar I was surprised when I didn't find this one that a friend gave me a few years ago. Its got more peanut butter and more cocoa powder than most other variations so its extra rich in taste. I have used either old-fashioned or quick oatmeal successfully. "Cooking" time is the time required for the cookies to set completely.

Time 1h10m

Yield 50 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup butter, cut in chunks
1/2 cup milk
1 cup peanut butter
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 cups oatmeal

Steps:

  • Measure and prepare all ingredients and have them and a timer within arm's reach. Its important to work quickly and pay attention.
  • Combine the butter, sugar, cocoa, and milk in a heavy saucepan then bring to a boil, stirring constantly, over medium heat.
  • Boil for 1 minute exactly, continuing to stir and reducing heat if necessary to prevent the chocolate from burning.
  • Remove from heat then add vanilla. It will boil up violently -- just stir it in until it subsides.
  • Add the peanut butter and stir. Once peanut butter melts completely stir int the oatmeal.
  • Let rest 5 minutes.
  • Drop mixture by the tablespoonfuls onto a sheet of waxed paper. Let sit an hour or more until fully cooled and hardened.
