Candy Cookies
These easy cookies go by many names including No Bakes. Whatever you call them, these cookies are a crowd favorite and won't heat up the kitchen during the hot summer months.
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Sugar
- ¼ Cup Butter
- 3 TBSP Cocoa Powder (Heaping)
- ½ Cup Milk
- ½ Cup Peanut Butter (Creamy or Chunky)
- 3 Cups Gluten Free Oats
- ½ Cup Shredded Coconut (Optional)
- 1 tsp Vanilla
Instructions
- Before you cook anything, assemble your ingredients and prep your work station. Line a section of your counter with wax paper or aluminum foil to drop cookies onto.
- In a medium sauce pan, heat butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter begins to melt, mix in sugar, cocoa powder, and milk. Stir to combine.
- As soon as the butter mixture starts to boil, boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- After 1 minute of boiling, remove the pan from heat and stir in peanut butter, GF oats, vanilla, and shredded coconut (if using).
- Using two spoons or a cookie scoop, drop cookies onto wax paper or aluminum foil. Allow the cookies to cool and harden before serving.
Notes
- Shredded coconut is optional and something I started adding in recent years, once I learned the I love coconut.
- Always double check that your oats are certified gluten free.
