There is something truly special about these classic no bake cookies. They have that perfect balance of rich cocoa and creamy peanut butter that everyone loves, and they are incredibly simple to put together on a busy day.

My favorite thing about this recipe is how quickly they set up on the counter. Just make sure to keep a close eye on your boiling time, because it makes all the difference in getting that perfect fudge consistency.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat, then let it boil for exactly one minute while stirring constantly.

  4. 4

    Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.

  5. 5

    Add the oats and stir well until all the ingredients are fully combined.

  6. 6

    Use a tablespoon or a cookie scoop to drop mounds of the mixture onto your prepared baking sheet.

  7. 7

    Let the cookies sit at room temperature until they are completely cooled and firm before serving.

💡 Tips

Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. If your kitchen is very warm, you can keep them in the refrigerator to help them stay firm. They also freeze beautifully if you want to save some for later.
