How to Make Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies

Tips for Peanut Butter No Bakes
You are looking for a raging boil. We aren’t talking about a few bubbles. You want to see a really foamy and frothy boil before moving on to your next step. Let the mixture boil for one full minute. Set a timer to ensure the mixture boils for a full minute, but not any longer or the cookies will be tough. Stir continuously. This isn’t a recipe to walk away from. Work quickly. Once the mixture has boiled and you are adding the other ingredients, move fast.
Old Fashioned Oats or Quick Cooking Oats
No bake peanut butter oatmeal cookies work out best with old fashioned oats. Quick cooking oats are broken down into small pieces and so your cookies aren’t going to have the same look or texture with them. That said, if all you have is quick cooking oats, you can still make these and you will enjoy them.
