Easy No Bake Cookies

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Treats

Enjoy this delicious no bake chocolate cookie recipe, when you need a treat that doesn’t involve turning on the oven and heating up the house.

This recipe is so easy, that it’s perfect for little ones who like to help in the kitchen. 

And bigger kids and teens with some kitchen skills will be able to make these no bake cookies by themselves. 

I like making them in the Summer, when my kitchen is hot. 

And, I like making them anytime I need a little treat that is quick and easy to make.

The simple ingredients are items that I typically have stocked in my pantry. 

Oats, cocoa powder, peanut butter, coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract turn into delicious cookies, when you follow my instructions. 

If you want to make these as gluten free cookies, make sure you choose oats that clearly state that they are certified gluten free on the package. 

Oats don’t naturally have gluten in them, but there could be some cross contamination during packaging.

After you’ve formed the cookies, that are placed in the freezer to set. 

Then, your family can either eat them all right away or you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. 

Enjoy!
