A tried and true recipe for no-bake cookies made with peanut butter and oats topped with an easy cocoa drizzle.
Brutus' favorite food in the whole wide world is a No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie. When he sweetly asked me to make some for his school lunches I assured him that I would.
That youngin is so sweet I would have written him a check too if he'd asked me.
I popped into the kitchen to whip up a batch and realized that I was almost out of cocoa.
Well... what to do? I thought I'd try them without the cocoa (making a few alterations to my recipe to account for that).
And I'm so glad I did because I LOVE these like this! Then I decided to use the rest of my cocoa to make a little chocolate drizzle! I can't wait for him to try one after supper!
UPDATE: I first posted this recipe in 2012 and I want to let y'all know that I still love it!!
I top the cookies with the chocolate drizzle OR sometimes I place a few candies on top (like Reese's Pieces and M&Ms).
NEW: Check out my recipe for No-Bake Monster Cookies which uses this same recipe as a base!

How to cook No-Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
Cookies

- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in sugar, salt and milk then bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Once boiling, cook mixture for 1 full minute. Remove from heat immediately. Do not let mixture boil longer than 1 minute.

- Combine ingredients then mix well.
NOTES:
If you don’t have parchment paper, a clean, dry counter will work as well but you may need a spatula to move the cookies.
No-bake cookies can be persnickety. If you don’t boil the mixture long enough, they won’t set up. If you boil it too long, they will be crumbly. The recipe below is exactly how I make all my no-bake cookies. Follow it and you should be A-OK.
Only use real butter.
