NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIES



No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies image

These are wonderful, quick cookies. It is one of the first things I learned to "cook." You can add more or less oats (3 cups work best for me). I have found that the weather makes a difference on the consistency, its best to make them on a nice sunny day. Also, It is very important not to boil them for longer than one minute.

Time 6m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup milk
4 tablespoons cocoa
1 pinch kosher salt
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or chunky but is seems to make a more crumbly, dry cookie)
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups dry quick-cooking oats

Steps:

  • Add the first six ingredients into a 4-quart sauce pan.
  • Bring to a rolling boil and hold for 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Add peanut butter into the hot mixture and stir until melted.
  • Add in vanilla. (almond extract is good also, but I only use 1/2 teaspoon almond extract with 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract).
  • Mix in the dry oats until they are completely coated.
  • Drop cookies by tablespoonfuls onto wax paper.
  • Let cool until set.
  • *Please remember that even if you do follow the recipe exactly, it doesn't always turn out just right. I've had these not set up for me or be hard and dry. But most of the time, the recipe is just right. I adjusted the sugar in the recipe by substituting 1/2 cup of white sugar for 1/2 cup brown sugar, this makes them more moist. I have also found that it makes a difference if you use quick cooking oats or old fashioned. In my experience it takes more old fashioned oats than quick cooking and I like the texture of the quick cooking better. When you make it a few hundred times like I have you learn a couple of things:) Also, Chunky peanut butter tends to make them more dry and crumbly.

CHOCOLATE NO BAKE OATMEAL COOKIES



Chocolate No Bake Oatmeal Cookies image

This recipe for chocolate no bake cookies are the classic cookie you remember, made with or without peanut butter-even with or without oats.

Provided by Nicole Hunn

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups 330 g certified gluten free quick-cooking oats ((See Recipe Notes))
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder ((natural or Dutch-processed))
8 tablespoons unsalted butter ((or virgin coconut oil))
2/3 cup milk
2 cups granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate (chopped)

Steps:

  • Line large baking sheets with unbleached parchment paper and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, place the oats and cocoa powder, and toss to combine. Set the bowl aside.
  • In a medium-size, heavy-bottom saucepan, place the butter or coconut oil, sugar, milk, and salt. Whisking frequently, bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  • The mixture will bubble quite a lot. Just continue to whisk. Allow the mixture to boil for a full 2 minutes, whisking frequently.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the chopped chocolate and mix until the chocolate is melted, and the mixture is smooth.
  • Create a well in the center of the oats in the large bowl and pour in the sugar mixture. Mix to combine well.
  • The mixture will be thick but soft. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to allow it to begin to firm up.
  • Using a large ice cream scoop or two spoons, scoop the cookie dough in 2 tablespoon portions onto the prepared baking sheets, about 1-inch apart from one another. Spread each gently into an approximately 2-inch round.
  • Allow the cookies to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator. After about 30 minutes, you should be able to peel them off the parchment paper.
  • Store the finished cookies in a sealed glass container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Provided by Debbie Jackson

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 c butter
2 c sugar
1/2 c milk
4 Tbsp cocoa
1/2 c peanut butter
3 1/2 c quick cooking oats
2 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Add the first 4 ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil, and boil for 1 minute. Stir in the next 3 ingredients and drop onto wax/foil paper. Let cool until set.

Tips:

  • Use quick-cooking oats. They will absorb the moisture from the other ingredients and help the cookies to set.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before scooping it. This will help the cookies to hold their shape.
  • Use a cookie scoop to drop the dough onto the baking sheet. This will help the cookies to be uniform in size.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them to keep their shape.

Conclusion:

These chocolate no-bake oatmeal cookies are a delicious and easy treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick snack or dessert, and they can also be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
