Chocolate Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies

🧂 Ingredients

• ½ cup butter
• ½ cup milk
• 2 cups sugar
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup creamy peanut butter
• 3 cups quick oats

  (not old fashioned oats or steel cut oats)

Instructions

• 1 In a large saucepan, heat the butter, milk, sugar and cocoa powder over medium
  high heat. Stir often as the butter melts.
• 2 Bring the syrup to a rolling boil, adjusting your temperature as needed to get a
  good bubbling boil without over flowing while stirring constantly. You need to
  cook the syrup at a solid rolling boil for one full minute. Set a timer.
• 3 Remove the saucepan from your stove top and stir in the vanilla and peanut
  butter until smooth and well combined. Then stir in the quick oats until well
  coated and evenly distributed in the syrup.
• 4 Use a large tablespoon to drop cookie portions in heaping tablespoonful amounts
  onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet or working surface. Leave about 1 inch
  between cookies for spreading.
• 5 Allow the cookies to set at room temperature for 30 minutes.
