No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 3 cups quick oats
Process
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, butter, chocolate chips, and milk and bring to boil. Cook for a minute.
Remove from heat and add the vanilla, peanut butter, and oats, one at a time, stirring well after each addition. The oats should be the last thing you add.
Quickly drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper and let set (1-3 hours).
If you are making shapes, spray the inside of your cookie cutters with non-stick spray and place them on wax paper. Spoon mixture inside the cookie cutter until it’s full. Don’t remove the cookie cutter until set or else the cookie will lose its shape. When set, gently slide off the cookie cutter.
Store in an airtight container.
