No Bake Chocolate Cookies without peanut butter are an easy, homemade treat made with simple pantry staples and plenty of rich chocolate flavor with chewy raisins throughout. This family friendly recipe comes together quickly and sets up fast, making it perfect for after school snacks, bake sales, or a quick dessert anytime.
In a large pot, melt together the granulated sugar, milk, cocoa powder and butter over medium-high heat.
Bring the mixture to a boil while gently stirring, and boil for 1 minute without stirring. Set a timer for one minute once the mixture is fully boiling.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Next, stir in the oats and raisins and mix it thoroughly.
Using a medium scoop, scoop the cookies onto parchment lined sheet pans and flatten just a touch.
Let the cookies set for about an hour before storing. Or chill in the fridge to set them faster.
