Quick No-Bake Oatmeal Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quick No-Bake Oatmeal Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by lining your baking sheets with waxed paper, creating a perfect surface for your cookies to cool on. This simple step ensures easy cleanup and keeps your cookies intact. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flaked coconut, and peanut butter. Stir them together until they are thoroughly mixed, creating a hearty base for your cookies. Now, let’s make the sweet, chocolatey mixture! In a large saucepan, combine the white sugar, cocoa powder, butter, and milk. Place it over medium heat and bring it to a gentle boil. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has completely dissolved, which should take about a minute. Once it’s ready, remove the saucepan from the heat. Carefully mix the oat and coconut mixture into the chocolatey liquid, ensuring everything is well combined. Finally, stir in the vanilla extract for that extra burst of flavor. Now comes the fun part! Scoop about a tablespoon of the dough, roll it into a ball, and gently flatten it. Place each cookie on the prepared waxed paper. Allow them to cool completely, and watch as they set into delicious, chewy cookies. Enjoy your quick and delightful treats!
