Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies: Quick, Easy, and Irresistibly Delicious

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make cleanup easier.
Heat the Wet Ingredients:

In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter, cocoa powder, honey (or maple syrup), milk, and a pinch of salt (if using).
Stir over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and the peanut butter has melted into the other ingredients. Allow it to come to a gentle simmer but avoid boiling.
Once the mixture is combined and smooth, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Mix in the Oats:

Add the quick oats to the peanut butter mixture and stir until the oats are fully coated and the mixture is thick and sticky.
Form the Cookies:

Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each scoop slightly to form cookie shapes.
Set the Cookies:

Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes, or until the cookies are firm and set. If you’re in a hurry, you can also pop them into the freezer for a quicker chill.
Serve and Enjoy:

Once set, the cookies are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
