No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

(12 servings)    Printable Version
  • 1 stick butter (8 Tablespoons)
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup Pet or other brand evaporated milk
  • 4 Tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 cups quick cooking oats
This recipe was submitted as a breakfast item probably because it has a good amount of oats. I can understand that, however... Unless you're a person who makes your morning oatmeal with a stick of butter and a cup of sugar, I'd treat this as a snack... A VERY TASTY, EASY-TO-MAKE TREAT. These cookies have a great chocolate peanut butter flavor and the texture is somewhere between a baked cookie and a piece of fudge. While I don't recommend these for breakfast, I do highly recommend that you try them. (This recipe was submitted in 2010. It was tested and photographed in October 2015.)

Someone said too much butter for breakfast. I think too much sugar for breakfast. A good snack, but not too often.

A little too much butter to have them for breakfast, but they are definitely delicious as a snack.
