No-Bake Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cookies image

My great aunt Pat makes these cookies every year during the holidays. She always has them on hand for drop-in guests and puts them on the dessert buffet at our family Christmas Eve party. I like making multiple batches and storing them in holiday tins for gifts. Be careful, they're addictive! You might want to make an extra batch (or two).

NO-BAKE COOKIES



No-Bake Cookies image

These classic no-bake peanut butter and chocolate treats are also known as cow patties or preacher cookies. The story goes like this: If a housewife looked out the window and saw the preacher coming up the mountain on his horse, she could whip up a batch of these cookies in the amount of time it would take him to reach the front door. True or not, it's a good story - and a great cookie that's a cinch to put together. Combine all the ingredients in a pot over medium heat, then drop spoonfuls on a sheet pan and chill until set. Be sure to use quick-cooking oats, not instant, when making these cookies. The less-processed oats provide delightful texture and chewiness.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 153.3, Fat 6.5, SaturatedFat 2.6, Cholesterol 9.3, Sodium 59.7, Carbohydrate 22.2, Fiber 1.5, Sugar 14.8, Protein 2.7

Tips:

  • Use a food processor: A food processor will make quick work of chopping the oats and peanuts. If you don't have a food processor, you can chop them by hand, but it will take a little longer.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Just mix until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Chill the dough before shaping: Chilling the dough will make it easier to handle and will help the cookies hold their shape better.
  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop will help you create evenly sized cookies. If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use a tablespoon to measure out the dough.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when they are done. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

These no-bake chocolatey peanut butter cookies are a delicious and easy treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick snack or dessert, and they can also be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator or freezer. Try experimenting with different mix-ins for a variety of flavors and textures.
