Loaded with salty-sweet
peanut butter and chewy oats, these no-bake cookies are the perfect dessert when you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to bother turning on the oven. These no-bakes are dense, rich, and fudgy . . . can you see why we’re obsessed?
Pick the right peanut butter.
You can never go wrong with peanut butter, right? Well, in this case, you actually can. For best success, you MUST use smooth, processed peanut butter to make these cookies. All-natural peanut butter (the type that separates in the jar) can be inconsistent in texture, and the lack of homogenization can really throw off the texture of the cookie, which will make it tricky to get them to set properly.
