Tip!Place the cookies in the fridge to help them set up quicker! Recipe Success TipsBoil the sugar mixture. It’s very important that the sugar/milk/butter mixture comes to a full boil, and then it boils at that level for a full minute. If you don’t cook this mixture properly or long enough, the cookies won’t set. Work Quickly. Once the oats are stirred in you should work quickly to get the cookies onto the pan.

Gluten-Free No Bake Cookies. Use gluten-free oats to ensure that these cookies are gluten-free. Variations for No Bake Peanut Butter CookiesAdd Chocolate: Chocolate is peanut butter’s soulmate after all. Toss in some chocolate chips or chopped chocolate along with the oats. It will be delicious. Melted chocolate drizzled over the top would be so good too. Decorate: For holidays or other fun occasions, you might want these cookies to be festive! Try sprinkling with sprinkles or colorful small candies before the cookies set. Other Add-Ins: Add in ½ cup of raisins, chopped nuts, or other dried fruits. Some shredded coconut would be delicious as well. You could also substitute part of the oats with another crunchy cereal like cornflakes or rice Krispies to change the texture of the cookies. I wouldn’t substitute all of the oats though, just a ¼ – ½ cup or so. These Peanut Butter Cheerio Bars will be ideal if you’re looking for a crunchier peanut butter treat.
