Everyone loves these no-bake oatmeal cookies with chocolate and peanut butter. They are easy to make, but so hard to stop eating!

Ingredients

  • ¾ cupgranulated sugar
  • ¼ cupsalted butter
  • ½ cupsemi sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chips)
  • ¼ cupmilk
  • ½ tspvanilla extract
  • salt
  • ¼ cupcreamy peanut butter
  • 1 ½ cupsold-fashioned oats

Directions

  1. 1

    Measure out the peanut butter and oats; set aside. Lay out 2 silicone pan liners or sheets of parchment paper. (You can place them inside cookie sheets.)

  2. 2

    Combine the sugar, butter, chocolate chips, and milk in a large saucepan or pot. Cook over medium heat just until the chocolate chips and butter are melted. It might start to simmer around the edges, but it doesn't need to boil.

  3. 3

    Remove from the heat. Quickly stir the vanilla, salt, and peanut butter into the chocolate mixture. Then stir in the oats.

  4. 4

    Quickly scoop the mixture with a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop onto the silicone liners. (Work quickly - they start to set up pretty fast!)

  5. 5

    Let the cookies sit for 15-20 minutes, or until cooled and set.
