No bake cookies are those that don?t need the oven but they usually require heat from the stove or the microwave for melting. Most no bake treats have much of the same basic ingredients including those to help bond the cookies together as they cool such as oats (or oatmeal), peanut butter, marshmallows, coconut and chocolate. Here?s one version of a simple no bake recipe which has several variations to try throughout the holidays. Ingredients:
1 cup brown sugar |
1 cup granulated sugar |
1/2 cup milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1/2 cup cocoa powder |
3 cup quick cooking oats |
1/4 cup peanut butter |
1/2 stick of butter |
Directions:
1. In medium saucepan combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, butter, and milk.
2. Stir over medium heat until sugars are dissolved and all ingredients are well blended.
3. Add vanilla and heat to boiling. Remove from heat.
4. Stir in oats and add peanut butter to mixture.
5. Drop on to wax paper by teaspoon for drop style cookies or by tablespoon and shape (to look more like cookies).
6. Cool to room temperature (about 45 minutes)
