What to eat with these simple peanut butter cookies
I think that a second batch should be eaten with your first batch! But just in case you don’t want to eat a lot of cookies, you can always pour a cup of regular milk or almond milk to enjoy.
These PB cookies would also be great with some ice cream, too. The sky is the limit!
No egg peanut butter cookies ingredients
- Pure Can Sugar or Granulated sugar
- Butter
- Milk
- Creamy peanut butter
- Vanilla extract
- Quick oats
Sugar
This is what is needed to make the cookies have a sweet taste. You could omit and add maple syrup or honey but the texture may change. I personally use pure can sugar because it’s less processed but granulated sugar works fine too!
Butter
You can use salted or unsalted butter.
Milk
Any type of milk should work for this recipe so if you don’t drink cow’s milk for any reason, you can use whatever you like!
Creamy peanut butter
If you want to change, crunchy peanut butter could be used as well but I think creamy PB gives the best texture overall. I also like to use natural peanut butter. Other nut butters should work well with this recipe too so feel free to change it up! We used this chocolate hazelnut and almond butter once and it was amazing!
Vanilla extract
Almond exact is a good option as well, but it is quite strong in flavor.
Quick oats
Quick oats are key for these cookies to turn out! I love rolled oats and steel cut oats too but for this recipe, you really need to use quick oats.
Classic Peanut Butter Cookies FAQ
Yes, you can! Since there isn’t flour included in the dry ingredients, and there isn’t egg included in the wet ingredients, you should be able to pop one of the cookie dough balls right into your mouth!
For the best results, follow the recipe card. But if you want to experiment, you can add chocolate chips, a bit of brown sugar, flax seed, and even some almond butter to these cookies.
Any kind of peanut butter is going to be a change or addition that you can easily make as well.
This great recipe is so simple to do. All you need to do is make a crisscross pattern on top, as you see on the classic peanut butter cookies from back in the day. Pair it with a glass of milk, and you’re set!
However, if you want to add melted chocolate drizzled on top, that can be a great way to add more flavor and sweetness.
If the cookies don’t firm after 45 minutes, you might need to move them to the fridge to firm more. Just cover them with a lid if possible, and give them some time to harden in the fridge.
You can. If you want to add these cookies to the freezer, wait until they have firmed up first. Then you can add them to a freezer-safe bag or container to save for later.
No, quick oats have to be used, or this recipe won’t work.
As long as you’re storing them in an airtight container, the cookies should last for up to 3 days.
