A blonde version of the classic chocolate No-Bake cookie!
I love no-bake cookies. Such a classic. I remember my mom making these “blonde” version no-bake cookies for me when I was little (She must have been out of cocoa). One time she whipped up a batch and ran a couple out to the bus stop just so I would have a treat for my lunch. You know, sometimes it’s those little things that kids remember.
This recipe is pretty similar to the chocolate version except it has a bit of brown sugar and no cocoa powder. Try them out!

Recipe Source: adapted from the classic chocolate no bake cookie recipe. Inspired by my Mom.
I sprinkled chopped-up chocolate on half of mine. Waiting for them to set–can't wait!
YUM!!!! I will have to try that next time 🙂
Can these be made without peanut butter?
You could use another kind of butter but I wouldn’t make them with out the peanut butter unless you add something else for flavor. But I haven’t tried it, so if you do, let me know how it works!
