Ingredients

  • 3 cups oatmeal, uncooked
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup coconut
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup milk

How To Make no bake cookies

  • Step 1
    Measure the oatmeal, peanut butter, coconut and vanilla in a heat resistant large bowl and set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a 2 quart saucepan, mix the sugar and cocoa together, cut the butter in about 4 pieces(this aides in melting it faster),and milk. Bring it to a boil over medium heat and cook for 1 minute.
  • Step 3
    Pour the cooked mixture over the oatmeal mixture and mix well. Drop the cookies by spoon or use a cookie scoop onto wax paper or parchment paper. If you want, you can use another piece of wax paper to lay on top of the cookies and flatten them with your hand until they are about 1/2" thick. Cool.
