CHOCOLATE DREAM COOKIES (NO BAKE)



Chocolate Dream Cookies (No Bake) image

My dad brought this recipe home from the Navy nearly 50 years ago. I have been making them since I could stand on a chair by the stove and stir. The peanut butter in this recipe makes these cookies a little different than similar recipes I've seen here.

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 13m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
2 cups sugar
3 cups quick oats
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • If using cookie sheet, prepare pan by coating lightly with butter or margarine.
  • In a large heavy saucepan, combine the milk, cocoa, butter and sugar.
  • Stirring constantly, bring to a full boil, then boil for 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Stir in vanilla and peanut butter until peanut butter is completely melted.
  • Stir in quick oats.
  • Quickly* drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper, or spread in a buttered cookie sheet.
  • Allow to cool completely.
  • If using cookie sheet, cut into squares to serve.
  • *If you don't move quickly, cookies will set up in the pan.
  • If cookies do not set, you didn't boil long enough.
  • If cookies are dry, you boiled too long.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality chocolate chips. Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips are good choices.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can use a hand mixer or even just a wooden spoon to mix the ingredients together.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges but still soft in the center. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container. They will keep at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These chocolate peanut butter dream cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
