No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie

escription
I just love desserts that don’t require you to heat up the oven. This is as easy as stirring all the ingredients in a pan and dropping the batter onto parchment paper and just waiting for them to set.

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup light butter
• 1⁄2 cup 1% low-fat milk
• 1 cup white sugar
• 4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1⁄2 cup reduced fat peanut butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1⁄4 tsp salt
• 3 cup quick-cooking oats 
• 1⁄2 cup pecans, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1. Mix together butter, milk, sugar, and cocoa powder in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute.
3. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt.
4. Stir in oats and pecans.
5. Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop onto wax or parchment paper. Allow cookies to stand for 1 hour or until set
6. Serving size: 1 cookie.
