    🥘 Peanut Butter No Bake Cookie Ingredients

    These easy-to-make cookies use very common ingredients that any beginner baker probably already has!

    • Sugar - 2 cups of granulated sugar.
    • Butter - ½ cup of salted butter (one stick).
    • Milk - ½ cup of milk.
    • Vanilla Extract - 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
    • Peanut Butter - 1 cup of peanut butter.
    • Quick Oats - 3 cups of quick oats (do not use old-fashioned or steel-cut oats).

    *Be sure to see the recipe card below for ingredients, amounts, & instructions!*

    🔪 How To Make Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies

    My peanut butter no bake cookies are a snap to make! All you need for these easy cookies is a saucepan!

    This recipe will make 30 cookies, so it is perfect for gift baskets or for a get-together!

    1. Heat pan. Heat a medium saucepan with ½ cup of butter, 2 cups of sugar, and ½ cup of milk over medium-high to high (enough to bring the syrup to a boil). Stir frequently to prevent burning!
    2. Boil. Once the butter is melted and the syrup has reached a full rolling boil, cook at a boil for 1 full minute and then remove from heat.
    3. Combine the rest of the ingredients. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 1 cup of peanut butter and then stir to combine with the syrup. Next, add 3 cups of quick oats and stir until mixed thoroughly and the oats are evenly coated.
    4. Set. Finally, drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper and allow to cool and set up for at least one hour.

    💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

    • Make sure your mixture is at a full rolling boil for a full minute. Set a timer!
    • I usually make my no-bake cookies in the evening to allow the peanut butter oatmeal no-bake cookies to set up completely overnight.
    • To Store: Place your cookies into an airtight container and store at room temperature for 1 week or refrigerated for 2 weeks.
    • To Freeze: Peanut butter no bake cookies can be frozen in an airtight container for up to six months. Let thaw before eating.

    ❓ Why Are My No Bake Cookies Gooey?

    If your peanut butter no bake cookies are turning out gooey, you most likely aren't boiling the mixture long enough!

    ❓ How Long Does It Take For No Bake Cookies To Set?

    You need to let your cookies set for at least 30 minutes, but I prefer to let them set out overnight to ensure that they are completely set!

    ❓ Can You Put No Bake Cookies In The Freezer To Set?

    Your no bake cookies need to be set up properly to make sure they don't end up with an off texture. Technically, you could put these into the freezer, but they will come out still gooey. I don't recommend using the freezer to set them.

      Can I use almond milk to substitute for milk in your no bake PB & butterscotch cookie recipes?

        Hi there, sorry but since I haven't used almond milk personally I can't say exactly what (if any) differences there may be. However, almond milk is my second favorite milk and I would definitely use it in any of my no-back recipes like these. Let us know how they turn out if you do go ahead with them! Thanks!
