Everyone LOVES No-bake cookies! They are always a family favorite for all. Kids love them and moms love not having to go through the hassle of baking pan after pan of cookies. These no-bake balls are seriously yummy and sweetened with maple goodness so they're healthier too!
Combine Wood’s Maple Sugar and cocoa powder together in a medium saucepan (about 3 quarts).
Add milk and butter over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the butter melts. Whisking occasionally, bring to a boil.
Once boiling, stop whisking and allow to boil for 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove from heat, then immediately stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until completely combined.
Stir in the oats and allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes. This allows the oats to soak up some moisture.
During the 5 minutes, line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Make sure there is enough room in your refrigerator for the baking sheets or we just put them on the front porch in winter.
Using a large cookie scoop (or simply a spoon), drop a ball of dough onto the lined baking sheets. If desired, slightly flatten down with the back of a spoon. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
Refrigerate the cookies for 30-60 minutes so they set. Remove from the refrigerator and enjoy!
Cover and store leftover cookies in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
