  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

    Line an 8x8 or 9x13 pan with parchment paper.

    Make the classic no-bake cookie mixture by boiling sugar, cocoa, butter, and milk for 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Stir in peanut butter, vanilla, and oats.

  4. 4

    Press mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan.
