No-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies, chewy, fudgy, and ready in minutes.
4 steps, about 15 minutes start to finish.
Combine butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder in a saucepan over medium heat.
Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and oats.
Drop by spoonfuls onto parchment paper and let cool and set.
“That one minute of hard boiling is the whole ballgame: pull it too soon and the cookies stay gooey and never set, boil too long and they turn dry and crumbly. Have your oats and parchment ready so you can move fast once it comes off the heat.”
