No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies
Description
No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies consist of a sugar, butter, and milk mixture boiled for exactly one minute, then mixed with peanut butter and quick oats to form a thick dough. The process forgoes baking, relying on the setting of the mixture as it cools. Pressing coated peanut butter candies on top adds texture and extra peanut flavor.
The cookies have a chewy texture due to the quick oats and are sweetened by both the sugar mixture and candies topping. They are formed into dollops on parchment or silicone mats and cooled until firm enough to handle.
This recipe requires attention to boiling time to avoid a crumbly texture, and uses quick oats for the right consistency rather than regular rolled oats. The cookies store well at room temperature for up to three days.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter cubed
- 6 tablespoons milk
- 3/4 cup peanut butter
- 2 1/4 cups oats also called 1 minute oats, quick cooking
- 1 cup peanut butter candies coated
Instructions
- Place the sugar, butter and milk in a saucepot over medium heat. Stir until butter is melted. Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute exactly.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the peanut butter until smooth. Add the oats and stir until thoroughly combined.
- Drop 2 tablespoon sized dollops of the dough onto parchment paper, waxed paper or a silicon nonstick baking mat. Quickly press the candies onto the tops of the cookies.
- Cool completely until cookies are set. Cookies may be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Cook the sugar, butter, and milk mixture for exactly one minute to avoid crumbly cookies.
- Use quick or 1-minute oats, not rolled oats, for proper texture.
- Cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container up to three days.
- Press peanut butter candies on top quickly before the dough sets.
