How to Make No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder until completely combined.
  2. Add ⅓ cup margarine and ½ cup milk to the saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Once boiling, continue to boil for exactly 3 minutes, stirring continuously.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in 1 cup creamy peanut butter (or chunky!), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 3 cups quick-cooking oats. Mix until thoroughly combined and the mixture starts to thicken.
  4. Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. Drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  5. Let the cookies cool completely at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
