No-Bake Chocolate Sunbutter Oatmeal Cookies

Yield: 24 cookies

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 7 minutes

Setting time: 30 min to 60 min

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 1/2 Cups White Sugar
  • 1/2 Stick of unsalted butter
  • 1/2 Cup milk
  • 1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder
  • 2/3 Cup Sunbutter
  • 1 Tbsp. Vanilla Extract
  • 3 Cups Quick Cooking Oats (or you could use Old-Fashioned oats for a chewier texture)
  • 1/8 tsp salt

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Combine the butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the butter melts. Once boiling, stop whisking and let boil for 1 minute.
  2. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla extract until combined. Then, stir in oats and salt.
  3. Allow mixture to sit for 5 minutes. This allows the oats to soak up some moisture.
  4. During the 5 minutes, line two baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper and make sure you have room in your refrigerator for at least one baking sheet.
  5. Using a 1 Tablespoon Cookie Scoop (or a spoon), drop a tablespoon of dough onto the lined baking sheet. If desired, slightly flatten down with the back of a spoon. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
  6. Refrigerate the cookies for 30-60 minutes.
