We are in full on holiday mode around here. Quinn had her holiday concert on Monday and tonight we had Gavin’s choir and band concert. Can I tell you something that my kids don’t know? Their concerts make me super emotional. I don’t know why! I don’t want to be the weird mom who is silently sobbing while their child is singing “Over the river and through the woods” off key with 100 other 7 year olds . . . . but I kind of am!

Or it could be that the holidays are just making me super emotional.  The fact that I ate like 7 of these no bake chocolate peanut butter cookies without blinking might be supporting evidence.

Reader Review

Fantastic recipe! My husband was asking for no bake cookies and I hadn’t made them in many many years so I went on the hunt and found this recipe. Perfection! I used sugar in the raw because I realized I was out of granulated sugar and they still turned out amazing. Thank you!

Can you use old fashioned oats in no bake cookies?

Both old fashioned and quick cooking oats would work in this easy chocolate peanut butter no bake cookie recipe.  I used old fashioned oats because it is what I tend to have on hand and also because I love the look and texture it gives these chocolate peanut butter no bake cookies.

Can you substitute something for the coconut in these no bake cookies?

If coconut isn’t your thing, you can replace the coconut with more oats. But I have to say that I love the flavor and texture that it gives this recipe.

    Made them. One word: PERFECT. I actually boiled about 90 seconds and it resulted in the perfectly smooth and shiny cookie. Sorry, no picture. The only down side is that everyone who had some wants them again and I’m currently out of oats.
