These no-bake peanut butter cookies are quick, creamy, and packed with nostalgic comfort. Perfect for a sweet treat without the oven fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter (preferably natural, unsweetened)
  • 2 cups (180g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup (120ml) honey (or maple syrup as a substitute)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup (90g) mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients (5 minutes): Measure out all ingredients to ensure a smooth process.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients (3 minutes): In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy. Microwave peanut butter for 15 seconds if stiff.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients (5 minutes): Sprinkle in oats, cinnamon, and salt. Fold gently until oats are evenly coated and mixture is sticky but holds together. Adjust with honey or oats if needed.
  4. Stir in Chocolate Chips (1 minute): Fold in mini chocolate chips, reserving some to sprinkle on top.
  5. Shape the Cookies (5-7 minutes): Form mixture into 1.5-inch (4cm) round cookies. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet and flatten slightly.
  6. Chill to Set (30 minutes): Refrigerate cookies to firm up. This step is essential for proper texture.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, serve cookies. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

Use creamy natural peanut butter for best texture. Chilling is crucial to set cookies properly. Adjust sweetness by tasting peanut butter first. Store cookies airtight in fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to 3 months. For vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup and ensure peanut butter is dairy-free.
