Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies are so easy to make with just 6 ingredients and only take a few minutes of prep! You'll love every bite of these sugary peanut butter and oatmeal cookies and the best part is you don't even have to turn on the oven!
Place sheets of wax paper on two baking sheets and set aside.
Combine sugar, butter, and milk in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stirring frequently until the butter has melted.
As soon as the mixture starts to bubble in the middle, set a time for 60 seconds. Let the mixture come to a rolling boil and cook for 60 seconds, then remove from heat.
Immediately stir in the oatmeal, peanut butter, and vanilla until fully incorporated.
Quickly drop the mixture onto the wax paper-lined baking sheets using a medium cookie scoop or wooden spoon.
Let cool for at least 30 minutes to set.
Notes
Creamy or crunchy peanut butter can be used.
Do not overcook the butter mixture or the cookies will be dry and crumbly. 60-seconds from center bubbles forming is key. I highly recommend setting a stopwatch timer.
Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Make sure you use 1-minute/quick-cooking oats in this recipe. Old fashioned oats will be too firm.
This recipe makes about 24 to 26 cookies when portioned out with a medium cookie scoop.
