No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

Generally, no bake cookies are made by melting sugar, cocoa, butter and milk on the stove top and then mixing in peanut butter and oatmeal . Without a stove, this is difficult, so I found a recipe that utilizes the microwave to melt the ingredients together. The microwave doesn’t so a great job of melting the sugar, so I had to do a lot of stirring to get the sugar to dissolve with the cocoa, butter, and milk. After that, I mixed in peanut butter until it melted and then stirred in old-fashioned quick oats and some vanilla for flavor. At this point, the mixture looked pretty runny, but trust me, it will set up when it cools down. When everything was well combined, I dropped spoonfuls onto waxed paper and allowed them to cool.

I like these cookies because they are full of peanut butter and chocolate flavor, plus they get a chewy texture from the oatmeal. They aren’t the best cookies in the world, but for being made in the microwave, they are nice little treat.
