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
- 2 cups white sugar
- 0.5 cups milk
- 0.5 cups butter
- 4 teaspoons cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups quick-cooking oats
Instructions
-
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.

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.

Grama's Cornflake Peanut Butter Cookies
These peanut butter cornflake cookies remind me of peanut butter fudge. My grandmother made them for us, and now I make them for my family. There is nothing healthy about this recipe, but it is a great sweet-tooth fixer.
