Preacher Cookies Recipe
Directions
-
In a medium sized sauce pan over medium-high heat add butter, sugar, cocoa powder, milk and salt.
-
Stir until butter is melted and ingredients are incorporated. Bring mixture to a rolling boil, and boil for 1 minute and 15 seconds. This part is very important or the cookies will not set up.
-
Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter until completely melted and vanilla extract. Add the oatmeal and mix well. Add ½ cup sprinkles.
-
Working quickly before the mixture cools and thickens up drop the mixture by tablespoon (I use my small cookie scoop) onto wax paper.
-
Sprinkle with remaining sprinkles.
-
Let cookies cool completely and set up before removing. The key to getting the cookies glossy on top is not touching them after you drop the mixture onto waxed paper.

The story behind how this recipe got it's name is a little weird, but that doesn't stop me from loving these cookies! I love the addition of rainbow sprinkles because let's be honest, everything is better with rainbow sprinkles :) I also love the combination of oatmeal and peanut butter, so this recipe was a home run in my book!

Until I came across this recipe, I had never heard of "preacher cookies," but I love the story behind the concept. Once I found out they were so easy to make, I had to give them a try! Chocolate and peanut butter are two of my favorite things, and putting them together in this creamy, chewy cookie is making folks come back for seconds...and thirds. Delightful!
