No-Cook Peanut Butter Cookies
It was much too hot and humid to bake tonight, but I still wanted a sweet treat after dinner. So, I got creative in the kitchen, and I came up with a quick and easy no-cook peanut butter cookie recipe. The recipe calls for only 4 ingredients and takes less than 10 minutes to prepare start to finish. And, of course, no cooking is required! You gotta try this one! 
Makes 8 cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup dry oats
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth)
- 1/4 cup agave nectar
- Cinnamon (optional)
Directions:
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well
- Line a baking sheet (or plate) with wax paper
- Use a tablespoon to scoop batter onto wax paper and flatten into a cookie shape
- Sprinkle with cinnamon (optional)
- Put cookies in refrigerator to cool overnight

Those look so good! I’ll be trying those for sure. It’s been so hot here lately, I have no desire to turn on the oven.

Tina, you always get me with your peanut butter creations. This is a definite must try!
Emily — August 24, 2009 @ 8:38 pm
Yum, those cookies look delicious! Next time, maybe some cocoa would kick them up another notch!
Yum!

Great idea! It’s too durn hot to turn on the oven!
allijag — August 24, 2009 @ 9:06 pm
Brilliant, as usual!
I literally went directly into the kitchen and made these! I have them “chillin’” in my fridge! I accidentally (but perhaps quite “smartly”) added an insane amount of cocoa powder (my “dash” went haywire) – we shall see. Thanks so much for the idea!
Annamarina (Running Tails) — August 24, 2009 @ 9:19 pm
These look delicious! Definitely going to try them!

Shawna — August 24, 2009 @ 10:02 pm
These look like such a great alternative to the “no-bake” chocolate pb cookies I used to make with an entire stick of butter and cup of sugar! ick! If they’re anything like your pb bars that I made a while back, count me in!
Sarah — August 24, 2009 @ 10:05 pm
Yum! Those look delicious! I think I might have to try those this week…I am certainly in need of a no-cook recipe since I do not have AC, and it has finally decided to turn into summer here in Minnesota!!!
Melissa — August 24, 2009 @ 10:20 pm
Holy yumminess!!! How can you wait for them to cool in the fridge overnight???
Jesse — August 24, 2009 @ 10:41 pm
Hi Tina! I just have to say that I really enjoy your blog! I just love how real and balanced you are-and I appreciate your candor about your struggles to motivate yourself to exercise! After years of ever-exercising and thinking that “had” to be running tons of miles every week to stay thin-and I’m only 26- I just do not want to keep up that schedule up and I love how moderate you are with everything!
Jenna — August 24, 2009 @ 10:43 pm
all i can say is yummmmmm
Valerie (College Girl Eats) — August 24, 2009 @ 11:10 pm
What a simple recipe! It looks delicious, I must try it. Have you ever substituted something else for the agave nectar though?
Caroline — August 24, 2009 @ 11:19 pm
Great idea! All my favorites all in one simple cookie.
Taylor — August 24, 2009 @ 11:23 pm
MMM, those sound wonderful! They will work perfectly here in hot, humid FL!
Mairssa — August 25, 2009 @ 1:22 am
Oh yum! Anything with PB is good in my book
Julia — August 25, 2009 @ 5:26 am
Really wanna try these cookies! Do you think I can substitute the nectar with something else? Honey maybe? xxx
Eve — August 25, 2009 @ 6:22 am

I just had to add again that my hubby and I love these and tonight I made the 3rd batch! Ok, not good, but I like making treats that he likes and aren’t bad for you! The bad part is that they are too easy for me to eat too many!
I did replace the white flour with whole wheat and they are great! Also, I used some honey last time when I ran out of agave, also wonderful! I’ll be linking this recipe on my blog…Thanks!

Just a minor question. I’m a beginner raw foodie and trying to ease my way into the lifestyle. In regards to the all- purpose flour, since we’re not baking, I am assuming the flour can be eaten raw? I want to make a batch of these cookies ( because they look so delicious) for a vegetarian friend, but I don’t want to give her an upset stomach in case flour can’t be eaten raw. Much appreciated.
