No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
These cookies are simple to make, and require very few ingredients. Every recipe I’ve tried calls for 2 cups of sugar and I find that makes them way too sweet. After adjusting the amount of sugar, I found that 1 1/4 cup is the perfect amount.
•1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
•1/2 cup butter or margarine
•1/2 cup milk
•3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
•1 pinch of salt
•3 cups quick cooking oats
•1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
•1/2 cup peanut butter
Bring sugar, butter or margarine, milk, cocoa, and salt to a rapid boil in a saucepan for 1 minute.
Add quick-cooking oats, peanut butter, and vanilla; mix well.
Working quickly, drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper and let cool. #cookies for the kiddos #bakingwithtoddlers #nobakerecipe #easycookies
