A delightful and easy-to-make no-bake cookie recipe perfect for a quick treat.
Combine the sugar, cocoa powder, and dry milk in a small saucepan.
Mixing the dry ingredients first ensures even distribution of flavors.
Add the water and butter to the saucepan and stir over medium heat until the butter melts.
Stir continuously to prevent the mixture from sticking to the pan.
Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil for one minute while stirring.
Boiling for one minute helps the mixture thicken properly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the peanut butter until smooth.
Adding the peanut butter off the heat prevents it from burning.
Mix in the quick oats until fully combined.
Ensure the oats are evenly coated for consistent texture.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto wax paper or a dinner plate.
Use a spoon to shape the cookies evenly.
Let the cookies cool and set before serving.
Cooling allows the cookies to firm up for easier handling.
