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.

These are easily the best homemade oatmeal cookie bars we've ever had, and that's really saying something! This recipe is simple to make and has all the essentials - chopped nuts, chocolate chips, high quality Gold Medal™ flour, and whole-grain oats. We love the ease of making oatmeal cookie bars because they have the chewy texture and flavor of an oatmeal cookie, but they take only 10 minutes to prep and use only one pan in the oven. Add extra indulgence by drizzling a little melted chocolate over these once they are cool and before you cut out the bars.
