Description
My Classic No-Bake Cookies or Preacher Cookies are an updated version of the classic with an option for white or dark chocolate! Sweet and chewy and no oven required. Give these Classic No-Bake Cookies a try!
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter (4 ounces)
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 cup chopped white or dark chocolate (or use chips/chunks)
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- 3 1/4 cups old fashioned rolled oats
Instructions
- Add butter, sugars, white or dark chocolate, and milk to saucepan and bring to boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.
- Once at a full, rolling boil, remove from heat and stir in peanut butter until combined.
- Next, add vanilla, salt, and oats and mix thoroughly.
- Drop by tablespoons onto parchment or wax paper, sprinkle with sea salt (optional), and let cool to room temperature.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, refrigerated they will last longer.
Notes
Use creamy or chunky peanut butter for this
I always use salted butter, but unsalted will work just fine here.
I like to make two sizes especially when I'm adding these to Christmas Cookie Boxes as it just adds a fun bit of visual interest. I use a 2 tablespoon scoop and a 1 tablespoon scoop to create the two sizes.
