Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies
Description
Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies are made by melting peanut butter and honey together then mixing in oat flour and a bit of salt to form a dough that can be shaped by hand. Pressing the dough discs with a fork creates the signature crosshatch pattern associated with peanut butter cookies. Chilling the cookies in the refrigerator firms them up before drizzling with melted chocolate, which adds richer flavor and a smooth coating. The use of oat flour gives a hearty texture and a slight nuttiness to complement the peanut butter and vanilla.
This recipe avoids baking altogether, making it convenient and accessible. The cookies can be molded by hand and stored in the fridge to keep firm, which is handy for make-ahead treats or quick snacks.
Ingredients
- 3 cups oat flour 9oz/255g
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup peanut butter 6oz/170g
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup honey 5oz/142g
- 3/4 cup chocolate melted, 4½oz/128g
Notes
- Oat flour is made by grinding oats and is used here to provide texture and structure.
- Dough consistency can be adjusted by adding more oat flour if too wet or more honey if too dry.
- Chill the cookies for at least 10-20 minutes to help them firm before adding melted chocolate.
