Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Nutritious No-Bake Oatmeal Cookies.
Step 1
To start your delicious cookie adventure, grab a saucepan and mix together white sugar, milk, and cocoa powder.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently until the mixture comes to a delightful boil.
Step 3
Once it’s bubbling away, let it boil for just one minute to bring out those rich chocolate flavors.
Step 4
After that, take the saucepan off the heat and stir in creamy peanut butter, sweet applesauce, and a splash of vanilla extract.
Step 5
Keep stirring until everything is smooth and beautifully combined, creating a luscious chocolate base.
Step 6
Next, fold in rolled oats, ensuring each oat is generously coated with that irresistible chocolate mixture.
Step 7
Now comes the fun part! Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a sheet of waxed paper, shaping them into delightful cookie mounds.
Step 8
Let your cookies cool completely on the waxed paper for at least 20 minutes.
Step 9
This waiting time allows them to set perfectly, so resist the urge to sneak a taste just yet! Once they’re cool, you’ll have a batch of scrumptious cookies ready to enjoy.
