Dee’s No Bake Cookies

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups white sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
3 cups quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Line a baking sheet with wax paper.

In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, cocoa, and butter.

Bring to a boil and cook for 90 seconds. Begin timing from the moment the mixture starts to boil and keep a close eye on it. If it’s boiling for too long, it can ruin the texture of the cookies. Alternatively, cooking for too short a period of time can prevent the cookies from forming properly.

Remove from heat.

Stir in the oats, peanut butter, and vanilla.

Using a teaspoon, measure out and drop the dough onto the wax paper. Make sure you give them enough space to accommodate easier serving down the line.

Allow them to cool until firm, about 35 minutes before serving.
