When I was a kid, we always had cookies in our lunch. My mother didn't always have the time to bake a whole batch- so she would make no-bakes. They are super duper easy.
Below I have written the original recipe flavored by chocolate and peanut butter and also the Nutella variation. You can use either crunchy or smooth peanut butter, I like smooth.. but that's just me.
Before you start making the cookies, prep where you will either drop them or pour them. If you want drop cookies, lay out some wax paper, parchment or aluminum foil. You will need to non-stick spray the foil if that's what you use. I will often times just pour the cookie batter into a parchment or aluminum foiled lined 9x13 pan and cut them once they're set into small bars.
The Nutella bar variation is pictured below.
ORIGINAL No-Bake Cookies
2 cups granulated white sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup milk
1 cup peanut butter
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 cups quick cooking oats
In a large saucepan bring the sugar, cocoa powder, butter and milk to a boil. Boil for 30 seconds. Add peanut butter and vanilla. Once the peanut butter is melted, add the oats.
Either drop cookies in desired amounts or pour into your 9x13 pan. Let set for an hour or so (it may take a little longer for the 9x13 depending on the temperature/ humidity of your house). You can always throw the cookies into the fridge for 15 minutes if you're getting impatient.
NUTELLA No-Bakes
2 cups granulated white sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1 cup Nutella
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 cups quick cooking oats
Bring the sugar, butter and milk to a boil. Boil for 30 seconds. Add the Nutella and vanilla. Once melted, add the oats.
Drop cookies onto prepared surface or into prepared pan. The Nutella cookies are a bit softer and take a little longer to set. Drop cookies about an hour, panned bar cookies about 2 hours.
