Directions: 1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. Stir in sugar, cocoa, salt and milk then bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Once boiling, cook mixture for 1 full minute. Remove from heat immediately. Do not let mixture boil longer than 1 minute.
3. Add peanut butter and vanilla to the saucepan then stir until peanut butter is melted. Pour mixture into the mixing bowl with oats then gently stir until well combined.
4. Using a cookie scoop or two tablespoons scoop portions of dough onto parchment paper. Flatten each cookie portion slightly to resemble the shape of a traditional baked cookie.
5. Once all the dough has been portioned out, starting with the first cookie and working through to the last (coolest to warmest), place chocolate chips onto each cookie).
6. Allow cookies to completely cool and set-up then move to an air-tight container to store. If you add the chocolate chips too soon, they will melt. Scoop out all the cookies then, starting with the first cookie you scooped (the coolest) and working through to the last, place the chips onto the cookies, pressing down just slightly. The cookies will still be soft enough to work with but not so hot that everything melts. Make a test cookie – if the chocolate chips start to melt and lose their shape, wait a minute then try again.
No-bake cookies can be finicky!. If you don’t boil the mixture long enough, they won’t set up. If you boil it too long, they will be crumbly.
