Mountain Bar Cookies Recipe

Recipe Type: Cookies, Christmas Cookie, Chocolate, Oatmeal, Drop Cookies
Yields: 3 dozen cookies
Prep time: 20 min


Ingredients:

2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk or water
4 tablespoon unsweetened chocolate cocoa powder
1/2 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract


Preparation:


Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or the Silicone Baking Mats to prevent the cookies from sticking.  

In a large heavy saucepan over low heat, add sugar, butter, milk or water, and cocoa powder; stir until melted. Increase heat to medium-high and bring just to a boil, stirring constantly so the mixture does not burn. Remove from heat.

Add peanut butter, oats, and vanilla; stir until well mixed. While mixture is still warm, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking pans. Let sit until cool and the chocolate is hardened.

Makes approximately 3 dozen cookies.
