Super-Moist No-Bake Chocolate and Oatmeal Cookies

4.5
(37)

I love these super-moist, no-bake chocolate and oatmeal cookies! The only problem I have encountered when making this recipe is that the cookies seem to fall apart due to dryness. As the recipe directs, adding more milk and less oatmeal solves that problem.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 30 servings

  • 2 cups white sugar

  • ½ cup milk

  • ½ cup butter

  • 4 teaspoons cocoa powder

  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter

  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

  • 2 cups quick-cooking oats

Directions

  1. Combine sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa powder in a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil; cook, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved completely, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Immediately remove saucepan from the heat.

  2. Stir peanut butter and vanilla into milk mixture until smooth. Add oats; stir to coat. Spoon oats mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper; let sit until mixture holds together, about 15 minutes.

Cook’s Note

This type of recipe often has issues with being too dry or with the cookies easily falling apart. That is why it's imperative that you use 1/2 cup milk and no more than the 2 cups oatmeal called for. If you follow these directions to the letter, I think you'll find these cookies to be super moist.

Depending on the amount you spoon out, this recipe will yield approximately 25 to 33 cookies. Smaller is better, though.
