No-bake cookies are the world's answer to \"I need a cookie and I need it now.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These classic cookies are fudgy, sweet, and delicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"EASY<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

where did no-bake cookies originate? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Classic no-bake cookies exploded in popularity in the 1950s when such ingredients as Crisco and margarine hit the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are also called PREACHER COOKIES or COW PATTIES. Melt butter, cocoa, sugar, and milk on the stove-top and stir in quick oats and peanut butter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

how to make EASY no bake cookies <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients you will need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SALTED BUTTER<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My preference is to use salted butter. I use the Land O' Lakes brand. I do not recommend margarine or a butter substitute unless you are making a vegan version. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SUGAR <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You'll need granulated sugar for these cookies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

COCOA POWDER <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For this recipe, choose unsweetened cocoa powder, like the Hershey\u2019s Brand. (As opposed to Dutch-processed cocoa powder.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MILK<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Choose any of your favorite type of milk. I used 2% in this recipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ingredients<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

VANILLA EXTRACT <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. I prefer pure extract, not imitation flavoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PEANUT BUTTER<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Because consistency and texture are important when making no bake cookies, I recommend a brand of creamy peanut butter that does not separate, such as Jif or Skippy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do use a natural peanut butter that separates, be sure to mix very well before adding to the cookies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

QUICK OATS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It's important to use QUICK OATS and not OLD-FASHIONED OATS! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SALT (optional) <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you use salted butter you don't need to add additional salt. However, I like to cut the sweetness with an additional dash of salt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
