These no bake Chocolate Peanut Oatmeal Cookies come together with a few simple ingredients in about 10 minutes. They are chewy, delicious, and so chocolatey perfect.

1cupsmooth peanut butter(270 grams)
1tablespoonvanilla extract
Instructions
Line two baking sheets with wax paper or parchment paper.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, milk, butter, and coco powder. Bring to a boil, while stirring consistently.
2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Boil for one minute while continuing to stir. (It is very important that it is at a full boil for one minute.)
Remove from the heat and stir in remaining ingredients.
2 cups old fashioned oats, 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut, 1 cup smooth peanut butter, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Using a large spoon or a cookie scoop, spoon large spoonfuls of the mixture onto the waxed paper. Allow to cool completely. Eat immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
I highly recommend using name brand butter in this recipe. In my experience, off brand butter, for example Kirkland butter, the cookie does not set.
