If you need a chocolate and peanut butter fix, this no bake cookies recipe is what you need! It doesn’t take that many ingredients to make these cookies.

I must admit, I did not eat a no bake cookie until I got married. I honestly had no idea what a no baked cookie was! I can now understand why people love this cookie. A combination of chocolate and peanut butter that requires no baking is a win win!

After you have melted the butter in the saucepan, you add the cocoa powder, sugar, and milk. Once that is all melted, you add the vanilla and peanut butter. You then pour the hot mixture in a bowl with the oats and mix.

There’s no exact measurement on how big or small you want these cookies. I used my 2 TBSP measuring spoon to scoop up the mixture. You can use any spoon you like. I put it straight on my silicone baking sheets and let it set up.

I realized afterwards I could of made it look “neater” if I smoothed the edges to make it more of a circular cookie shape. Either way, they tasted delicious!
