Tool needed to make peanut butter and oatmeal cookiesThese no bake peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are as easy to make as you’d expect, considering baking isn’t required! As far as tools are concerned, you will need a large saucepot, a stirring utensil, and a cookie sheet or plate to chill the cookies in the fridge. To measure ingredients, you will need 1 tsp, 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup, and 1 cup. How to make oatmeal peanut butter cookiesThese cookies involve a very simple recipe that includes less than 10 minutes of hands-on prep time. We’ll start with the liquids (peanut butter, oil, honey, and vanilla) before rounding out the dough with oats. We’ll chill the dough at different points throughout to help the cookies harden up without being baked. To begin, add the peanut butter and coconut oil to a large saucepan and heat over medium heat. Once melted, turn off the heat and add the honey and vanilla to the pot. Stir in the oats, and then let the batter chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Once chilled, add the chocolate chips and then form the dough into cookie shapes. Place the cookies in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour. Sprinkle with sea salt, and then enjoy!
