No Bake Peanut butter Chocolate Oat CookiesIngredients (use vegan versions): 1/2 cup margarine (Earth Balance)
2 cups sugar (white or brown)
1/2 cup soy milk
4 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups quick cooking oats
Directions:I like to make this recipe when I want something sweet in a hurry. Vegans and non-vegans alike love these!
1. In a large pot, bring margarine, sugar, milk and cocoa to a boil. Stirring constantly, let boil for 1-2 minutes until mixture is completely melted. Do not over boil.
2. Take mixture off heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla until completely melted. Stir in oats.
3. Drop teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto cookie sheets lined with wax or parchment paper and allow to cool. When cool, turn cookies over to dry the bottoms.
4. Store in an airtight plastic container in the refrigerator.
Enjoy!
Serves: Makes: 24 large or 48 small cookies
Preparation time: 5 minutes
When do the oats come in?

At the end of step 2, after the cocoa/milk mixture has been boiled and the peanut butter and vanilla has been added, it says stir in oats. Hope this helps.

Easy, addictively tasty sweet treats! I adjusted the recipe only slightly by doubling the vanilla to 1 t , slightly reducing the sugar, reducing the cocoa to 3 T, and adding a dash of salt. For the peanut butter, I used natural cruncy unsalted. This made 30 cookies for me. I'm sure I'll be making this one again. The ingredients are so basic that I almost always have everything on hand.

My kids and I LOVE this recipe! I drop the dough into paper muffin cups and then when the kids want one it is easy for them to peel it and eat!

These cookies are TOO GOOD! So easy to make and very tasty! A big hit with my non-vegan boyfriend too.
