No-Bake Cookies
My all-time favorite cookie recipe! Just a few ingredients and no time in the oven for these delicious No-Bake Cookies. Yes, I cook and bake every day, but my favorite cookie is a No-Bake Cookie!
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter

- 3 cups quick oats
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter

Notes
Oats: I typically use quick oats for this recipe. I have found after testing that they work best.
Butter: For this recipe make sure you are using real butter not margarine. It will make a difference until how they set.
Setting time: These cookies could take 20-30 minuets to set. If your house is too hot I will sometimes open a window or even stick them in the fridge.
Pro Tip: This recipe moves fast and over boiling or letting things sit to long could mess it up. I always prepare all ingredients before starting and measure everything out so I can move quick.
Mixing: Do not mix in another bowl add your oats and peanut butter into your warm pot.
