???????? How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookies (No Bake Version)
Step 1: Brown the Butter
Start by melting the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until it turns a golden-brown color and smells nutty. This step adds rich flavor—just like classic brown butter chocolate chip cookies.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
Remove the butter from the heat and stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, milk, vanilla, and salt. Mix until smooth.
Step 3: Add the Oats
Stir in the quick oats until everything is evenly coated and forms a thick dough.
Step 4: Cool Slightly and Add Chocolate Chips
Let the mixture cool for about 5–7 minutes before adding chocolate chips to avoid melting them too much.
Need to melt extra chocolate for drizzling? Here’s how to melt chocolate chips: Microwave in a heat-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, or use a double boiler for even melting.
Step 5: Form the Cookies
Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto parchment paper. Flatten slightly with a spoon if desired.
Step 6: Chill
Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm. That’s it!
