No bake cookies are great with chocolate or peanut butter! These no bake cookies are so soft due to the quick oats versus rolled oats.

I’ve always had great success with Jamielyn’s savory and sweet recipes. What stood out to me with this recipe, was how she used quick oats instead of old fashioned for these no bake cookies. I couldn’t believe how much softer the recipe was with these type of oats!
