    • White Chocolate Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies

    Ingredients

    You need just a few ingredients to make these cookies including:

    • sugar
    • milk
    • butter
    • rolled oats
    • white chocolate peanut butter
    • white chocolate chips (optional)

    Instructions

    • Line a cookie sheet with wax paper or aluminum foil. Set aside for later use.
    • In a saucepan, bring the sugar, milk, and butter to a boil over medium heat. Allow to boil for one minute, then remove from heat.
    • Stir in chocolate chips, then peanut butter and oats until smooth.
    • Drop cookies onto the wax paper or aluminum foil with an ice cream scoop. Shape and flatten if desired.
    • Allow cookies to set up then serve. Cookies usually set up within thirty minutes.

    Substitutions

    There are ways you can enjoy these cookies with food allergies or intolerances. Here are some easy substitutions:

    • Gluten free: Use gluten free oats.
    • Vegan: You will want to use vegan white chocolate peanut butter and vegan white chocolate chips (if using). You will also want to make sure that you use plant based butter and plant based milk.
    • Dairy free: Make sure to substitute dairy free white chocolate peanut butter and dairy free white chocolate chips (if using). You will also want to use dairy free butter and dairy free milk.
    • Low Sugar: for a lower sugar version you can use a sugar substitute. Coconut sugar also substitutes well too.

    Variations

    • Adding nuts: For added crunch and texture, consider mixing in chopped peanuts or other nuts of your choice. This will give the cookies a delightful contrast to the creamy peanut butter and white chocolate.
    • Swapping the Chocolate: If you're not a fan of white chocolate, you can easily substitute it with milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips. Each type of chocolate will bring a different flavor profile to the cookies.
    • Flavor Enhancements: For a touch of extra flavor, you might add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the cookies before they set or a teaspoon of vanilla extract.

There are also some white chocolate chips scattered around the cookies. In the background, there is a white cloth napkin, a silver spoon with peanut butter on it, and a white coffee cup.

    Storing

    To keep your white chocolate peanut butter no-bake cookies fresh:

    • Room Temperature: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
    • Refrigeration: For longer storage, keep the cookies in the refrigerator where they will stay fresh for up to two weeks.
    • Freezing: You can freeze the cookies for up to three months. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer to a freezer bag or container.

    Tips

    1. Use Fresh Ingredients: Make sure your peanut butter and white chocolate chips are fresh for the best flavor and texture.
    2. Don’t Overheat: Be careful not to overheat the sugar and milk mixture, as this can affect the texture of the cookies.
    3. Mix Thoroughly: Ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed to avoid uneven texture or pockets of unmixed ingredients.

    FAQ

    What type of oats should I use?

    You can use rolled oats or quick oats. Do not use steel cut oats.

    What should I do if my cookies are too soft?

    If your cookies are too soft and not setting properly, they may need more time to cool. If they’re still not firm enough, you can refrigerate them to help them set more quickly.

    Can I use a different type of nut butter if I can't have peanut butter?

    Yes, you can use a nut free butter in this recipe. Just use the white chocolate chips so you can a nice balance.
