From My 2010 Recipe Box: Chocolate Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies

Ohhhh hiiiiii! Today I’m reaching WAY back into the Baking with Melissa archives!
I originally shared this recipe on my old Baking with Melissa blog in November 2010, before I officially launched Baking with Melissa in 2011. I had already started creating the branding, recipes and ideas for the business I was building, and this Chocolate Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookie recipe was one of the recipes I shared during those very early days.
More than 15 years later, I thought it would be fun to bring this one back because it is still one of my FAVORITE quick and easy cookies! You can make them large or small, I think they’re best served chilled, and one of the best parts is that all you need is ONE POT and A SPOON!

Chocolate Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of butter (or soy butter or Earth Balance)
1/2 cup of milk (or almond milk or soy milk)
2 cups of sugar
1/2 cup of cocoa powder
3 cups of oats
1/2 cup of peanut butter (or almond butter, Nutella etc.)
Parchment Paper
Directions:
Add sugar, butter, milk and cocoa powder to pot and bring to a boil for about 3 minutes stirring constantly so it does not burn. Remove from heat. Stir in oats and peanut butter. Mix well and drop by spoon onto parchment paper. Put in refrigerator to cool. Can be served chilled or at room temperature.
Depending on the size you make them will depend on how many this will serve. I usually get about 16 LARGE cookies out of this recipe.
Quick and Easy and oh so good!
