Chocolate and peanut butter - does one need to say any more? These two are the universal feel good ingredients that can bring a smile to even the Grinch's lips! If your suspicion is gaining an upper hand and is making you wonder what the catch is (I know, I know, you must be wondering if the baking part is done away with, there must be some hitch attached to the ingredients!), let me tell you that one look at the no bake cookies ingredients will make all your doubts disappear with a loud SWOOSH! Hence, stop judging, send your suspicions on a vacation and just bite into the following recipe!

Ingredients

• Unsweetened Cocoa Powder - 8 tablespoonfuls
• Sugar - 4 cups
• Dairy Butter (regular butter) - 2 sticks
• Peanut Butter - 2 cups
• Oatmeal - 6 cups
• Vanilla Essence - 2 tablespoonfuls

Method of Preparation

• Add the sugar, butter and cocoa powder in a thick bottomed saucepan and bring the mixture to boil on a medium flame.
• As the sugar and butter start melting, stir with a flat spatula to mix these together so that a smooth texture is achieved.
• Boil for about a minute and then add the peanut butter, oatmeal and vanilla essence to the mixture. Stir with the spatula to mix everything evenly.
• Remove the sauce pan from flame.
• Lay out a sheet of waxed paper on a cookie tray or a large, flat plate.
• Drop teaspoonfuls of the hot mixture on the waxed paper, taking care not to drop them too close to each other.
• Keep the tray with the cookie mixture drops in a cool, dry and dark place to allow them to harden. Do not refrigerate though.

If you wish, you can drop cherry, almond and/or walnut bits or raisins on the surface of these drops before they get hardened. This way, you can turn your plain chocco peanut butter cookies into fruits-and-nuts cookies in a jiffy!
