Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies are a fast and easy recipe that is perfectly sweet with brown sugar and loaded with oatmeal.
Oatmeal No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies
This is a classic cookie recipe for those who can't have or just prefer not to eat chocolate.
These Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies are a version of the famous Chocolate No Bake Cookies using cocoa powder that I grew up eating in the 50s.
They always satisfy the craving for something sweet. I love the moist, chewy texture and rich peanut butter flavor that just takes minutes to make, and the hardest part is waiting for them to set up so you can eat them.
When my children were small, I would give them a spoon to scrape the sides of the pan and get all that yummy peanut butter mixture.

TIPS AND TIDBITS TO MAKE THE MOST DELICIOUS PEANUT BUTTER NO BAKE COOKIES
Do not use natural peanut butter. You can use creamy or crunchy peanut butter as long as it is a regular kind.
Prep and measure your ingredients ahead of starting the recipe. This recipe is best to prepping and measure your ingredients so they can be added immediately.
Make sure to cook the brown sugar mixture long enough to dissolve the brown sugar. This will ensure the cookies will set up properly. Once the brown sugar mixture comes to a boil. Set the timer for 1 minute. Also, another method to ensure the cookies set up, you can use an instant read thermometer. Boil the mixture until the mixture reaches 230 degrees F.
Refrain from being tempted to add more oatmeal if the mixture seems not to be thick enough. As the cookies begin to set up, the oatmeal absorbs the excess moisture.
Scoop the cookie mixture onto wax paper, not a baking sheet. This will make it much easier to remove and store. Also, the clean up is much easier, too.
