These cookies never lasted long in my house. As the mom of 5 boys I always had to double the batch.

How To Make no bake cookies

  • Step 1
    In a 4 quart dutch oven or saucepan, put in sugar and cocoa. Whisk until cocoa is mixed in sugar. (I try to get any cocoa lumps broken down.)
  • Step 2
    Add milk and margarine. Cook over medium heat on oven burner stirring constantly.
  • Step 3
    When it reaches a roiling boil, cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Remove from heat, and add vanilla, oats and peanut butter.
  • Step 5
    Mix until peanut butter is melted and oats is distributed throughout chocalate mixture.
  • Step 6
    Drop by tablespoonfuls onto wax paper. It sets up fast so work quickly. Let cool and enjoy. (Sometimes I put this in a greased 9"x13" pan.)
