5 Minute No Bake Cookies

By dorchuk

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup salted butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup heavy cream*
• 1/4 cup milk*
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3 cups quick oats (DON'T use old fashioned oats)

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium saucepan combine butter, sugar, cocoa, salt, cream and milk. Bring mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, then allow mixture to boil 45 seconds without stirring. Remove from heat, add in vanilla, peanut butter and quick oats. Stir mixture until combine then, working with 2 large spoons, immediately divide mixture evenly among 24 paper muffin cups (for bigger cookies you could do about 16). Allow to rest at room temperature until set.


*alternately you can use 1/2 cup half and half in place of 1/4 cup cream and 1/4 cup milk. I just always keep milk and cream on hand rather than half and half so it's what I used.
