How To Make No-Bake Cookies ~ Cheap, Fast, and Easy!

Updated on February 9, 2012

No-bake Cookies!

Chocolatey, peanut buttery no-bake cookies!


First off, I'd like to apologize for the title of this hub. I'd like to apologize to the cookies! They seemed to be a bit ticked because I called them cheap. I guess the "fast and easy" was okay!

Yes, in my world cookies talk!

Moving on...these cookies are a favorite in my family. My mother used to make these without the peanut butter, and most of the time, the cookies wouldn't set. We'd put them in the freezer for a bit and just scrape the cookies off the waxed paper with spoons! Adding the peanut butter definitely helps them harden up more like cookies.

Make a batch of no-bake cookies tonight, but try not to eat them all in one sitting. They're not as pretty coming back up! Enjoy!


Simple Ingredients

The recipe calls for peanut butter, but I use soy butter because I'm allergic to peanuts. Wowbutter is awesome!
