Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies

No bake cookies are great with chocolate or peanut butter! These peanut butter 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!

• On the stove top on medium heat, melt the butter, milk and sugar together. Let it bubble for 2 minutes before removing from heat.

• Add peanut butter and vanilla in the hot pan and stir.

• Next, add the quick oats to a mixing bowl.
• Add the hot mixture in with the dry quick oats.

• On two cookie sheets with silicone mats/parchment paper, scoop the hot cookie mixture. I used a 2 TBSP measuring spoon.

• Cool cookies in the fridge for at least 30-60 minutes.
