Equipment
- Sharpie Marker
- 1 Large Freezer Baggie
- 1 Medium Freezer Baggie
Ingredients
Cookie Mix:
- 3 cups Rolled Oats
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 1 ¾ cups Granulated Sugar
To Use the Mix:
- ½ cup Milk
- ¼ cup Salted Butter
- 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1 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 into the medium baggie. Press out any excess air, and seal.
- Place the medium baggie of sugar 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 baking 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 to the pot.
- Bring the mixture up to a full rolling boil, allow to boil for 2-3 minutes. (2 for softer cookies, 3 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.
- Using two spoons - or a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop - 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!
