Thread: Chocolate Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies

I have modified this recipe over the years. Now, no one in our family will eat these unless they are made by me. Super rich! Recipe can easily be cut in half

Ingredients:

4 cups sugar
3 tablespoons (heaping) cocoa
1 cup milk
1 – 1-1/4 cups crunchy peanut butter
2 sticks margarine
7 – 8 cups quick cooking oats
2 teaspoons vanilla


Combine sugar, cocoa, milk, margarine and vanilla in a large sauce pan. Bring to a rapid boil over medium-high heat. Boil for two minutes (stirring constantly); remove from heat. Add peanut butter and stir until melted. Add oats; stir well. Drop by tablespoon onto wax paper. Cookies will set (become firm) in a few hours.
Makes approximately 3-4 dozen cookies.



Cook’s note: High humidty will cause these cookies to be gooey. Make sure to delay cycling your dishwasher until cookies are firm.
