Peanut Butter No Bake Cookie Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 cups quick-cook oats
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter
- 2 cups sugar
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, stir together oats and salt. Set aside.
-
In a small saucepan, over medium-high heat, whisk together butter, sugar, and milk.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil for about a minute and then remove from heat.
-
Whisk in peanut butter and vanilla until well combined.
-
Pour the peanut butter mixture over oats and stir until combined.
-
Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Drop the cookies onto the wax paper using a medium cookie scoop.
-
Let the cookies cool on the countertop. Store in the refrigerator once cookies are cool and dry.
Notes
- It’s important to start the 60 seconds once you’ve reached a rolling boil, not when you see the first few bubbles. If you start counting too soon, your cookies may not set properly.
- If your cookies are too hard, you might have boiled your sugar mixture too long or at too high of a heat.
- If your cookies are too gooey, you might not have boiled your sugar mixture long enough.
- It’s VERY important you let them cool on the counter before putting them in the fridge or they will become gooey.
