How To Make No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
1. Let’s start by heating our butter, sugar, milk, cocoa, and salt in a pot over a medium flame until everything broadly melts together – should take around five minutes.
2. Remove the pot from heat and stir in the yummy vanilla extract, the hearty oats, and those crunch peanuts (if you’re using them).
3. Next, lay out that wax paper on the cookie sheet.
4. Now, using a spoon, scoop portions of the mixture onto your prepped cookie sheet. Each portion is a cookie, so make ’em as big or as small as your heart desires.
5. Let the cookies rest at room temperature until they���re set and completely cool. Voila – you just made no-bake cookies!
