Equipment

  • Sharpie Marker
  • 1 Large Freezer Baggie
  • 1 Medium Freezer Baggie

Ingredients

Cookie Mix:

  • 3 cups Rolled Oats
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 ⅔ cups Granulated Sugar
  • ¼ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

To Use the Mix:

  • ½ cup Milk
  • ¼ cup Salted Butter
  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 2 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

Instructions

Cookie Mix:

  • Using a Sharpie, label the large freezer bag with the recipe name - No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies - the ingredients and amounts listed under “To use the mix”, and whatever directions you need (see below).
  • Measure the oats and salt into the large bag, shake well to combine.
  • Measure the sugar and cocoa powder into the medium baggie. Press out any excess air, and seal.
  • Place the medium baggie of sugar and cocoa into the large baggie of ingredients. Press out excess air, seal, and store in a cool dark place until use.

To Use the Mix:

  • Get a hot fire going.
  • As that’s heating up, spread a large section of parchment paper over your picnic table, or line a couple large cookie sheets, set aside.
  • Measure the milk and butter into a dutch oven, place over the fire and allow the butter to melt. Once the butter is melted, add the packet of sugar & cocoa to the pot.
  • Bring the mixture up to a boil, allow to boil for 1-2 minutes. (1 for softer cookies, 2 for slightly firmer cookies that set up faster!).
  • Once the time is up, remove the pot from the fire.
  • Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla, stirring carefully to melt and incorporate the peanut butter.
  • Once the mixture is smooth, add the baggie of oats and salt, stirring to coat everything evenly. Allow mixture to sit for 2 minutes, to thicken slightly.
  • Using two spoons, drop mounds of the cookie mixture onto the prepared work surface or pans.
  • Allow cookies to fully cool – cookies will harden and set up as they cool.

Notes

Store in an airtight container – these will keep a long time, assuming they go uneaten that long!
