Mama Kail'S Boiled Cookies
Mama Kail'S Boiled Cookies are rich, chocolate-flavored treats with crunchy peanut butter and oats, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings and sharing with family and friends.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, combine sugar, milk, oleo, and cocoa.
- Bring to a full, rolling boil and boil exactly 90 seconds.
- Immediately remove from heat.
- Stir in peanut butter and oats.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using creamy peanut butter instead of crunchy, or mix both types for added flavor. If you're out of oleo, unsalted butter is a great substitute in equal amounts. Ensure your mixture reaches a full boil for the perfect consistency; otherwise, the cookies may not set properly. For a twist, try adding a pinch of sea salt to enhance the chocolate flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are perfect as a quick snack or dessert and pair beautifully with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of coffee. For a delightful treat, serve them alongside a slice of Chocolate Pound Cake - Fudge Icing. You can also serve them at gatherings for a sweet touch that everyone will love!
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you prefer them chilled, you can refrigerate them, but allow them to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture. Reheating isn't typically necessary, but if desired, a quick 5-second zap in the microwave can freshen them up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these cookies vegan?
Yes, you can easily make this recipe vegan by substituting oleo with a plant-based butter and using a non-dairy milk alternative such as almond or soy milk. Just ensure the peanut butter is also vegan-friendly.
What if I don't have rolled oats?
If you don't have rolled oats on hand, quick oats can be used as a substitute. However, avoid instant oats as they may result in a different texture. If you prefer, you can also try using finely chopped nuts for added crunch.
How do I know when the cookies are done?
These cookies set as they cool, so it’s crucial to boil the mixture for exactly 90 seconds. After mixing in the oats, drop spoonfuls onto parchment paper and allow them to cool completely. If they hold their shape, they are done!
