In the Oven: The No-Bake Peanut Butter Cookie

November 27, 2012 by bourbonnatrix

Posting date for the No-Bake Peanut Butter Cookie is December 2nd!

The No-Bake Peanut Butter Cookie
Baked Explorations – p. 185

1/2 cup whole milk
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup dark unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, cut into 1/2-inch  cubes, softened
1 cup chunky peanut butter
3 cups rolled oats
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, stir together the milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and butter until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil, stop stirring, and boil for a full 90 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat and add the peanut butter, oats and vanilla. Stir until the mixture is combined.

Use a small ice scream scoop with a release mechanism, or, alternatively, a tablespoon to drop the no-bake cookies onto the baking sheet (leave some room around them; they will spread). Let the cookies cool, then refrigerate them for at least 1 hour. They can be eaten directly from the refrigerator or at room temperature.

Store the cookies between layers of parchment paper in a tightly sealed container for up to 3 days.

Yield: About 36 cookies.

      I had my doubts. I’m a convert.

    I’m also skeptical…I’m thinking of taking the opportunity to make up the Nutell Scones that the group baked before I joined.

      I think they taste like Reese’s peanut butter cups. Dangerous. Susan – I cut the recipe in half.

        Ewww, Nutella, gross! Hahaha! (Nutella is the equivalent of eating mud to me.) MAKE THESE instead!
