Raise your hand if you grew up on no bake cookies. That’s everyone, right? I’ve always loved chocolate peanut butter no bake cookies. Not that long ago my son and I were at the grocery store and I saw that they were selling TINY peanut butter no bake cookies in the bakery section. An entire package of tiny little cookies.

Peanut butter no bake cookies? My son (who eats peanut butter by the spoonful) looked at them and said those might just be his new favorite cookie. I went home and made him a batch, modifying our traditional recipe. I took out the cocoa powder, and added an extra 1/2 cup of oats.

I have a couple of different cookie scoops. A small one that scoops out a tablespoon at a time and a medium one that scoops out 2 tablespoons at a time. I use the smaller one for this recipe for the perfect bite-sized cookies.

This recipe makes 48 delicious no bake peanut butter cookie bites. They melt in your mouth just like the chocolate version that we all love. I can’t really say that they taste a lot different than the chocolate ones because MOST of the flavor comes from peanut butter anyways. So yummy.

Tips for Making Perfect No Bake Cookies

  • The recipe says to boil for 1 minute. This means that you need to WAIT until the cookies are at a rolling boil before setting the timer. If you set the timer too soon the cookies won’t set up.
  • What is a rolling boil? A rolling boil means that the mixture will boil even while you are stirring it.
  • If you find that, for any reason, your cookies aren’t setting up like they should, place them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. They will still be softer, but won’t go to waste. This usually happens if they haven’t boiled for a full minute.
  • Don’t boil much longer than a minute (10-15 seconds extra is fine) or your cookies may end up a bit crumbly.
  • Store cookies at room temperature in an air tight container.
