Chocolate Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies
Soft and chewy with a rich peanut butter and chocolate taste, these cookies are easy to make and don't even need an oven!
Chocolate Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies may be one of my favorite cookies ever. Easy to make and no need to turn on the oven, so in the summer in my small 5th floor walk-up in Manhattan with no AC, they are the perfect treat.
If you want thicker cookies, let the batter sit for 2 minutes before scooping onto trays to let cool. This will allow it time to thicken so it doesn't spread as much.
