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.

PUDDING NO-BAKE OATMEAL COOKIES



Pudding No-Bake Oatmeal Cookies image

My grandmother had made no-bake cookies so much, she was never seen looking at the recipe. This recipe was obtained from a local nursing home and is so easy my 9 year old makes them and the flavor is changeable to your taste. I generally make 2 batches so that we don't have to store half a can of evaporated milk. Our favorite flavors are made with chocolate fudge or butterscotch pudding.

SUPER-MOIST NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE AND OATMEAL COOKIES



Super-Moist No-Bake Chocolate and Oatmeal Cookies image

I love these cookies! The only problem I have encountered in the past with making these, is that they seem to fall apart due to dryness. Adding more milk and less oatmeal (as this recipe directs), takes care of that problem.
