This no bake fudge cookies recipe is rich and amazingly delicious! These fudge cookies are easy to make in just a few minutes and it’s so simple that older kids can make it themselves! If you’re not a fan of peanut butter, you can leave it out and they are just as wonderful!

Ingredients

1/2 cup milk
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla
3 cups oatmeal
1/2 cup nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Before you start, cut about a 20 inch piece of wax paper. Lay it on the counter. This serves as something to drop the cookies on.
  2. In a saucepan, mix milk, sugar, cocoa, and butter.
  3. Bring to a boil.
  4. Boil 1 minute. (For high altitude, let them cook 30 seconds to a minute longer.)
  5. Remove from heat.
  6. Stir in peanut butter, vanilla, and nuts.
  7. Mix until peanut butter is mixed in.
  8. Add oatmeal.
  9. Drop by spoonfuls on the wax paper.
  10. Let cool until set.
This process must be done a little quickly because the cookies start hardening pretty fast.  If the humidity is high or you don’t boil them the right amount of time, they may not harden. Don’t panic! Just pour the mixture into a container and use as fudge sauce for ice cream. …Although my kids love eating these homemade no bake fudge cookies with spoons if they don’t get hard enough to eat as cookies!
