Chocolate no bake cookies are made with chewy oats, creamy peanut butter, and delicious chocolate. Stir it all together, roll them out, and let them set for around 15 minutes before they're ready to eat. So easy and quick!
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, whisk together the sugar and cocoa.
Add milk and butter to saucepan.
Heat over medium-high, stirring frequently, until mixture reaches a rolling boil. Keep at a rolling boil for one minute.
Remove from heat and stir in oats, peanut butter, vanilla, and salt.
Allow to cool in pan for 3-4 minutes. Scoop tablespoonfuls onto parchment lined baking sheets.
Let the cookies set for at least 15 minutes. You can place also them in the refrigerator to help them set.

Notes
Have all your mix-in ingredients ready to go (oats, peanut butter, vanilla, and salt) so the mixture doesn’t begin to set up prematurely before you’ve have the chance to scoop them into balls.
You can make the cookies larger, but note that they can take a bit longer to set. We were able to get 36 teaspoon-sized cookies out of this recipe, and they only took 15 minutes to set. If you use a Tablespoon to scoop, allow them to set for 30-40 minutes.
