These chocolate peanut butter no-bake cookies are so easy to make and only require a few simple ingredients and a stovetop.

Ingredients

2 cups sugar

1/2 cup butter or margarine, cubed

1/2 cup 2% milk

3 tablespoons baking cocoa

Dash salt

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 cups old-fashioned oats

Instructions

1 Cook the base

2 In a large saucepan, stir together the sugar, butter or margarine, milk, baking cocoa and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for three minutes. Editor’s Tip: Try not to go too crazy with stirring so nothing splashes on yourself. Hot sugar can be very dangerous!

3 Stir in the peanut butter, vanilla and oats

4 Remove the saucepan from the heat, and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until blended. Stir in the oats.

5 Form the cookies and chill

6 Drop the mixture by the tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate the cookies until they’re set. Store in airtight containers. Editor’s Tip: Chilling time will take about an hour or longer.
