Hey, you're watching Preppy Kitchen
where I, John Kanell,
teach you how to make delicious homemade dishes
to share with your family and friends.
These no-bake cookies will be ready in just a few minutes
so let's get started.
First off, you're gonna wanna get everything out
because these cookies come together in two minutes,
but you can't stop, there's no pause point, you can't leave,
everything comes together right away.
So measure out your quick oats,
as well as your peanut butter into a separate bowl.
2 1/2 cups of quick oats.
We're also gonna measure out 3/4 of a cup of peanut butter.
I'm using smooth peanut butter.
If you like crunchy,
you could definitely use that as well.
I really need to memorize the grams for peanut butter
because it's such a pain using a measuring cup.
I'm plopping the peanut butter over the oats.
Once this mixture is all ready, we can just dump it out
and make our cookies, they're so quick.
This can get set aside.
Now, into a medium-sized pot I'm adding 1/2 a cup of butter.
It is room temperature and to speed things up,
I'm cutting it into tablespoon-sized pieces.
Now I'm adding 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
right into my pot.
Measuring out 1/4 cup of cocoa powder.
You could use Dutch process or natural,
they both work out really well.
And normally I would definitely sift this,
but this recipe is so forgiving you don't need to.
The last ingredient is 1/2 of a cup of milk, in you go.
Now we're gonna take this onto the stove
at medium-high heat.
Once this is on medium-high heat,
you're gonna start whisking it up
and it'll come together so quickly.
The butter will melt and it'll come to a rolling boil.
Once at a boil, give it 60 seconds on the dot,
and then we're gonna take it off the heat
and dump in the rest of our mixture.
In the meantime, whisk, whisk, whisk.
(joyful music)
If you have an eagle eye,
you might remember I've actually made
no-bake cookies on the channel before,
but that was such a long time ago
I've played with the recipe a little bit
and since the boys requested it,
I thought it'd be fun to shoot a video for you again,
in my house.
The last one was at the rental house
while this kitchen was being built,
which seems like forever ago.
The butter is almost melted,
I'm gonna watch for a rolling boil
and you'll see what that looks like.
These cookies basically have everything,
there's tons of peanut butter and chocolate flavor in them
and they're so easy too, they're like the best snack ever.
I was shocked when I first started making these
how delicious they were, because you're like,
"Oh, no-bake cookies."
It doesn't sound like much
and they're not the prettiest cookies,
but they are so good.
(John gasps) (TV beeps)
(bright playful music)
This is the most funny thing ever in a tragic way.
The last time I made these cookies,
I put it up on stories and I ran out of propane
while this was cooking so I had to change it out to a pot
where you can use an induction top and then continue.
The same thing happened just now.
I ran out of propane, (chuckles)
so we're gonna swap this out
into a stainless-steel pot and then use the induction top.
Oh my gosh, what are the chances?
My pot's switched out, back onto medium-high heat
on the induction.
Thank goodness I got this.
Stir until it comes to a full boil, get that timer out.
Okay, so right now this is a rolling boil,
setting a 60-second timer.
And we're just gonna stir while this boils.
Stir, stir, stir,
and then we're going to take it off the heat.
Oh my gosh, the smell is so good.
Mm.
Okay, rolling boil, 60 seconds,
and now we're just gonna dump in
our peanut butter oats and vanilla.
We're gonna stir that up
with two teaspoons of a nice vanilla.
Mix, mix, mix, mix, mix.
This is gonna melt the peanut butter
and just distribute everything evenly.
It starts setting up right away (chuckles)
so you can't let this hang out for any period of time.
This is all together,
so we're gonna dump these out in cookie-sized pieces
onto parchment paper.
You can use a cookie scoop or two spoons
just to portion out heaping table-sized disks of cookie.
They're gonna spread right away.
If you want, you can flatten them out a little bit more,
but that's totally up to you.
So as you scoop these out,
you're gonna notice they start not spreading out as much
because they really do set quickly.
These are gonna hang out on your baking sheet
for about 20 minutes or so until they're set enough to eat
and then you can jump right on in and enjoy.
Half of these cookies are already gone,
Brian's been sneaking a bite
along with everyone else in this house.
You've gotta make this recipe.
