Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies
Description
The Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies start by melting butter with granulated sugar and milk over medium heat until fully combined, then boiling the mixture for a precise 60 seconds to achieve the right consistency. After removing from heat, creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract are stirred in, followed by quick-cooking oats that provide chewiness and body to the cookies. The batter is dropped by spoonfuls onto cookie sheets and left to cool at room temperature until set.
These cookies have a dense, chewy texture with prominent peanut butter flavor balanced by the sweetness of sugar. The oats add chewiness and a slightly hearty bite. Because they require no baking, preparation is quicker and less heat-intensive, making these cookies an accessible homemade sweet.
They can be enjoyed shortly after setting and are easy to make in batches for casual snacking or dessert. Cooling completely is important to help the cookies firm up properly before handling or serving.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3/4 cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 1/4 cups oats quick-cooking
Instructions
- Prepare a large cookie sheet (or two smaller cookie sheets) by covering with parchment paper; set aside.
- Place the butter, sugar, and milk in a large pot and heat over medium heat, stirring often until the butter is melted.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and boil for exactly 60 seconds without stirring.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the quick oats and mix well.
- Drop the cookie batter by spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets. Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature for about 45 minutes or until the cookies have set.
