Description

These No-Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies are a quick and easy treat that combines the rich flavors of peanut butter and oats with the fun crunch of Reese’s Pieces. Perfect for when you need a sweet fix without turning on the oven!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup salted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1/2 cup Reese’s Pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheets: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.
  2. Heat Mixture: In a large saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil. Allow it to boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
  3. Add Ingredients: Quickly stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the quick-cooking oats and stir until fully combined. Finally, fold in the Reese’s Pieces.
  4. Form Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, forming cookies about 2 inches in diameter.
  5. Set Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until firm.

Notes

  • For a different twist, try adding chocolate chips or chopped nuts instead of Reese’s Pieces.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
