Description

Rich, chewy no-bake cookies made with peanut butter, butterscotch chips, peanuts, and oats—an easy, quick treat with no oven required.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1/2 cup salted peanuts
  • 2 cups quick oats

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the peanut butter and butterscotch chips together, stirring constantly until smooth.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in salted peanuts and quick oats until well combined.
  3. Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and shape into rounds.
  4. Let cookies sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes.
  5. Once set, serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use creamy or crunchy peanut butter based on texture preference.
  • Do not substitute quick oats with old-fashioned oats for best texture.
  • Cookies can be stored at room temperature, refrigerated, or frozen.
  • Optional add-ins: mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, chopped pretzels.
