Ingredients
No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter unsalted, if possible
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ cups toasted rice cereal
Chocolate Butterscotch Glaze
- 3 tablespoons butterscotch chips
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper, and set aside. Be sure that the baking sheet will fit into your freezer or refrigerator, as you’re going to need to chill these cookies for a little bit so they can firm up.
- In a glass measuring cup, measure in the peanut butter, sugar, maple syrup and salt. Heat in the microwave in 30-second increments until you can stir and incorporate them together smoothly without any lumps.
- In another bowl, measure out the rice cereal.
- Pour the wet ingredients on top of the rice cereal. Use a rubber spatula and stir until combined.
- Use a cookie scoop to gently scoop the no bake cookies onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a glass sprayed with nonstick cookie spray or another flat object to press the cookies down into a flatter shape.
- In the microwave, heat the butterscotch chips and dark chocolate chips together in 30-second increments, stopping after each to stir, until smooth.
- Drizzle the butterscotch-chocolate mixture over the formed no bake cookies.
- Transfer the baking sheet with the cookies on it to the refrigerator or the freezer. Cool for 1-2 hours, or let hang out overnight.
- Serve cool with your favorite beverage!
Notes
- Acceptable substitutions in this recipe:
- Maple Syrup: If you don’t have pure maple syrup, you can use corn syrup or honey in its place. While this will change the flavor profile a little, those substances will still work.
- Not a dark chocolate fan? Use semisweet chocolate chips in its place.
- Allergic to peanut butter, but you can eat other tree nuts? Almond butter would be a great substitute!
