Who doesn't like peanut butter no bake
cookies?! Today happened to be a little bit cooler than it has been so my daughter and I decided to make a batch! Tomorrow we will be making pumpkin chip cookies with a new
recipe(I will post a recipe) so these were to hold us over until then, we
love sweets :-) I hope you guys enjoy the recipe as much as we did!
Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies:
2 Cups of Granulated Sugar
1 Stick of Butter(1/2 cup)
1/2 Cup of Milk
1 Teaspoon of Vanilla
1 Cup Peanut Butter(smooth or crunchy, we prefer smooth)
3 Cups of Quick Oats(not instant)
1. Lay out a couple of good sized sheets of waxed paper on a counter, table or cookie sheets.
2. In a large saucepan, mix the sugar, butter and milk. Heat the 3 ingredients until in a full boil, stirring frequently. Once its fully boiling and the butter is completely melted, stop stirring and set a timer for 1 minute. Once the minute is up, remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla and the peanut butter. After the peanut butter has been melted into the mixture, add the oats and mix until all of the oatmeal has been well coated.
3. Spoon the cookie mixture onto the waxed paper that you set out at the beginning. Let the cookies cool for about 30 minutes or until they are set. I let mine set for a whole hour before trying to move them, just to make sure.
4. Once the cookies are set, you can remove them from the waxed paper and store them in a cookie jar or covered container. The cookies will get sticky if you put them into the refrigerator before they are set.
Enjoy your cookies!! :-)
