We love these old-fashioned peanut butter no bake cookies. Rich, creamy peanut butter is mixed with vanilla, butter, sugar, milk and a dash of salt before being combined with crunchy oatmeal. You’ll be rewarded with a quick, delicious cookie that doesn’t require baking. A batch of these classic peanut butter no bake cookies takes just a few minutes to make. The hardest part is waiting for them to set so you can eat!
