When it’s too hot to fire up your oven, try these fudgy no bake cookies!
¼ cup unsalted butter or coconut oil
1 ½ cup sugar
½ c milk
¼ c natural unsweetened cocoa powder
2/3 c peanut butter such as jiff or skippy
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
3 cups old fashioned or quick cooking oats
*parchment paper
**room in your fridge!
- Combine butter, sugar, milk, cocoa powder in medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until butter melts, then simmer. Allow to simmer for 1 minute without whisking. Remove from heat, then immediately stir in peanut butter and vanilla until combined. Stir in oats.
- Allow mixture to sit 5 minutes. This allows oats to soak up some moisture.
- During those 5 minutes, line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Make sure there is enough room in the fridge for the sheets.
- Using a 1 Tbsp cookie scoop or spoon, drop a tablespoon of doug onto the baking sheets. May slightly flatten with spoon. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Refrigerate 30-60 min to let them set. Remove from fridge and enjoy!
*Cover and store cookies in the fridge for up to 1 week
