Peanut Butter and Honey No-Bake Cookies

  4.5 – 38 reviews  • No-Bake Cookie Recipes

For any hot, muggy summer day, try this cool, refreshing tomato, cucumber, and kidney bean salad! It also makes a fantastic main dish for vegans because to the beans and tofu. Fresh parsley or mint can be used in place of the basil. Always prepare this salad right before serving.

Rlly good!
Kaitlin Anderson
I made half the recipe and got 36 cookies using a small cookie scoop. Didn’t change a thing . Easy to make. A recipe I would make again. Thank you for sharing.
Jeff Wells
I put almost four cups of oatmeal just to be sure. Tastes sweet so far.
Brian Johnson
Mine never set. Not sure if it was because I used half natural peanut butter and had too much oil? I like the fact that it uses honey, so I will try again.
Laura Vaughan
I boiled it for 3 minutes and they set fine. I also agree, very sweet. I added a dash of vanilla. They were great. Definitely will make again, but with less sugar.

I loved it. I had one right as I was done putting them down. Then I had another one the next day and it was very, very good… I did find it a tad bit sweet as well… So I cut down the white sugar for Blue Agava. But little less. But thank you so much for a very lovely desert.

The flavor of these were great – though I did have an issue with them staying soft and not firming up properly. Its a hot day so I decided to try doing it in the microwave so I set it for 5 minutes. If I make these again I’ll have to remember to try 6 minutes instead.

I did not have crunchy peanut butter nor honey on hand, so along with the ingredients called for, I added about 1 cup crushed walnuts, 1/4 cup molasses, an extra 1/4 c sugar, as well as 2 tsp vanilla. The boiling time was 1 1/2 minutes, and they came out perfect, tasted great.
Cynthia Parker
AMAZING! I used maple and Brown sugar instant oatmeal because it’s what I had, soooooo yummy!
Scott West
Great idea for a hubby who won’t make time for breakfast. I used way less butter (about 3 Tbsp), left out the white sugar completely since I had chunky peanut butter with added sugar, boiled for at least 3 minutes, and added just a few drops of vanilla. I was worried they weren’t going to set, but when they were just cool enough to handle, I rolled them into nice little balls like another reviewer suggested. Yum!
Evan Rowe
Chewy & delicious! I followed the recipe, except for using previous comments & let mine boil for 2 minutes. They turned out perfect. I love chocolate, so next time I might stir in mini chocolate chips at the end.
Travis Jackson
I halved the recipe and used Stevia in the Raw in place of the sugar. I also cut back on the honey (2 1/2-3 tbsp altogether). I didn’t have any chunky peanut butter, but they were still yummy. I followed the other suggestions for boiling for 2-3 minutes and didn’t have any trouble with them setting up. I added a half cup of milk chocolate chips which became melted and mixed in to make them just what I was after! Half a batch made 18.
Amber Gardner
followed the recipe and what others said about cooking 2 1/2 minutes which I did and they turned out perfect. My grandkids and husband also loved them!
Logan Cisneros
I am not a big fan of Honey, so I lessoned the amount of honey and added a little more brown and white sugar, not much though. Otherwise these are great, especially when you want no bake cookies and realize last second that you have no more cocoa, lol.
Amy Bishop
This was amazing! Instead of 3 1/2 cups oatmeal, I substituted 1 1/2 cups sliced almonds and 2 cups oatmeal, since I was in the mood for a sweet granola-type of dessert. It turned out great!
Javier Lee
First time making no bake cookies. Very impressed. Did boil for 2 1/2 minutes like other reviewers mentioned. The family liked these. Will make again. Maybe next time try adding almonds and maybe some vanilla.
Monica Miller
Hubby loves these and asks for them alot. I use creamy peanut butter. I also roll them into balls after they’ve cooled a little bit.
Brian Mccoy
Good!
Brandon Chapman
Not bad. Followed recipe/used a natural PB w/ no sugar and it was still a bit too sweet. Easy though.
Richard Roberts
These are very tasty, but they took a Long time to set.
Nicole James
I enjoyed these. I used splenda, ideal brown sugar and regular oatmeal. MY PB wasn’t crunchy, but I made due. These were tasty, quick and I didn’t have any trouble with them setting up at all
