Quick and easy, these chewy, peanut butter-packed no-bake cookies are perfect for a fast treat without turning on the oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter diced
  • 1 ¾ cups (350g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (118ml) nonfat milk
  • ½ cup (133g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups (243g) quick cooking oats

Instructions

  1. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Measure all ingredients and have them ready before starting.
  3. Melt the diced butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat.
  4. Stir in the granulated sugar.
  5. Stir in the nonfat milk.
  6. Whisk the mixture until it is smooth.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  8. Boil the mixture for about 1 ½ minutes, stirring occasionally, or until it reaches 230°F on a candy thermometer.
  9. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  10. Stir in the creamy peanut butter.
  11. Stir in the salt.
  12. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  13. Stir in the quick cooking oats until well combined.
  14. Use a cookie scoop to drop 2-tablespoon sized balls of cookie mixture onto the prepared baking sheets.
  15. Let the cookies sit at room temperature to set.
  16. Alternatively, chill the cookies in the refrigerator to harden quicker.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are measured and ready before starting, as the process is fast.
Boiling the mixture to 230°F with a thermometer ensures proper setting.
Use quick-cooking oats, not old-fashioned, for the best texture.
Work quickly once oats are added, as the mixture sets fast.
