No Bake Cookies are by far the favorite and most prepared cookie at my mom’s house. Partly because we love them so much and partly because they’re easy to make..no baking required! Oh, and if you’re like me, half the recipe gets eaten while warm with a spoon. That’s when they’re the best!

Chocolate No Bake Cookies Recipe

• 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/4 cup cocoa
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3 cups oatmeal
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1 tsp. vanilla

1.  Stir the butter, sugar, cocoa, and milk together in a saucepan, and cook on medium heat until it boils.  Boil for about 3 minutes.

2.  Remove from heat and add the oats, peanut butter, and vanilla.  Stir until thoroughly mixed.

3.  Drop by spoonful onto waxed paper, and allow the cookies to cool and harden slightly, which takes about 20 minutes.
