no-bake nutella cookies

This is another ridiculously easy recipe involving nutella.  As with any other dessert I bring to work, these were gone in record time with unanimous agreement that they were delicious.  What can I say?  It's NUTELLA!!!

no-bake nutella cookies
from feast and west

makes 24 cookies

1/2 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup nutella
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 to 3 1/2 cups dry, quick-cooking oats

1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter. 
2. Stir in sugar, milk and cocoa until combined.
3. Bring mixture to a rolling boil and hold for 1 minute, then remove from heat. 
4. Stir in peanut butter and nutella until melted and well combined. 
5. Add vanilla, then mix in oats one cup at a time. 
6. Drop tablespoons of batter onto wax paper and let cool entirely before eating. 
7. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.

It's VERY important that the mixture boils for a solid minute or the cookies will not set; also make sure to add only amounts listed above because that will also cause them not to set.  Otherwise-EASY!

Do you like no-bake cookies?  I didn't really have them growing up, but I like them especially since you don't have to use a hot oven in the summer!  (I will definitely be making these this summer when I have a chocolate craving)
