Healthier No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Healthier No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by gathering your ingredients and a medium saucepan. In the saucepan, combine the white sugar, low-fat milk, butter, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Place it over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir occasionally, allowing the sugar to dissolve completely, which should take about 1 and a half minutes. Once it’s bubbling and the sugar is dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat. Now, it’s time to add in the star ingredients! Stir in the crunchy peanut butter until it’s fully melted and combined. Next, fold in the quick-cooking oats, unsweetened coconut, and vanilla extract, mixing everything together until well incorporated. The dough will be thick and delicious! Using your hands or a spoon, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into walnut-sized balls. Place each ball onto a sheet of waxed paper, giving them a little space to breathe. Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature until they harden, which usually takes about 30 minutes. Once they’re set, enjoy your healthier no-bake cookies as a delightful snack or dessert! They’re perfect for sharing or keeping all to yourself.
