Description

Fiddle Diddles No Bake Cookies are an easy and delicious treat made without the need for an oven. Combining classic ingredients like sugar, butter, milk, cocoa, oats, peanut butter, and vanilla, these cookies come together quickly on the stovetop and set perfectly at room temperature. Ideal for a quick sweet fix, these no-bake cookies offer a rich chocolate flavor balanced with creamy peanut butter and hearty oats.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry and Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • ½ cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats
  • ½ cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky, your preference)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Sugar, Butter, Milk, Cocoa, and Salt: In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, butter, milk, cocoa powder, and salt, preparing the base mixture for your cookies.
  2. Melt and Boil: Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the butter is completely melted and the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil to ensure proper cooking and sugar integration.
  3. Time the Boil: Once boiling, set a timer for exactly 1 minute and continue stirring constantly to prevent burning and to achieve the right consistency.
  4. Remove from Heat: After the one-minute boil, immediately remove the saucepan from the heat to avoid overcooking the mixture.
  5. Stir in Oats: Add the quick-cooking oats to the hot mixture and stir well, ensuring all oats are coated evenly with the chocolate mixture.
  6. Incorporate Peanut Butter: Add the peanut butter, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fully combined.
  7. Add Vanilla Extract: Stir in the vanilla extract to add depth and aroma to your cookies.
  8. Drop by Spoonfuls: Using a spoon, drop portions of the mixture onto a wax paper-lined baking sheet, forming the cookies.
  9. Shape (Optional): If desired, gently shape the cookies using your fingers or the back of a spoon to create rounded or flattened shapes.
  10. Let Set: Allow the cookies to set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes or until firm. To speed up setting, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
  11. Store: Once set, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness and texture.

Notes

  • Use quick-cooking oats for the best texture; old-fashioned oats may result in chewier cookies.
  • Peanut butter choice (creamy or chunky) affects texture slightly; choose based on preference.
  • The timing of the boiling step is crucial to ensure correct cookie consistency; use a timer.
  • For a firmer set, refrigerate the cookies after dropping them on the sheet.
  • These cookies are best consumed within 3-5 days when stored properly at room temperature.
