Classic No-Bake Cookies are a delicious treat made with oats, cocoa, and peanut butter, offering a simple and quick dessert option.
Equipment

- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions
- Before getting started, gather all ingredients and measure everything out. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto prepared baking sheets and allow to cool for 20 to 30 minutes, then serve and enjoy!
Notes
Storage Instructions: Cookies may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Freezing Instructions: Once cookies have cooled completely, store them in a freezer bag or freezer-friendly container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw cookies to room temperature before serving. I prefer whole milk, but any type will work. For chewier cookies, use old-fashioned rolled oats or pulse them in a food processor to break down.
