Ingredients

Units Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup chocolate milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup Cookie Dough Granola Butter

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups cane sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 3 cups cooking oats

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chocolate Syrup: Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add the butter, cane sugar, chocolate milk, and cocoa powder. Allow the butter to melt completely and the sugar to fully dissolve. Whisk continuously until the mixture becomes a smooth chocolate syrup.
  2. Add Granola Butter and Vanilla: Stir in the cookie dough granola butter and vanilla extract, continuing to whisk the mixture. Bring it to a gentle boil, then immediately remove from heat.
  3. Incorporate Oats: Pour the cooking oats into the saucepan and stir well until all the oats are thoroughly coated with the chocolate mixture.
  4. Shape Cookies: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie scooper, scoop portions of the no bake cookie mixture onto the sheet, shaping them into individual cookies. If your kitchen is warm or humid, place the tray in the refrigerator to help the cookies set.
  5. Chill: Allow the cookies to chill for 1-2 hours until firm and set.
  6. Serve and Store: Once solidified, enjoy your cookies immediately or store them in an airtight container on the counter for 5-7 days, refrigerate for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days, refrigerate for 2 weeks, or freeze for 3 months.
  • If cookies fail to set, ensure butter is fully melted and sugar is completely dissolved before adding oats.
  • To make these cookies dairy-free, substitute refined coconut oil for butter and use nut milk instead of chocolate milk.
