Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies

Impera_Magna's Note:

Posted in response to a request, I got this recipe from a lady at church who make them for Bible School in the 1980s. I had made chocolate no-bake cookies for YEARS but had never heard of peanut butter no bake cookies. So delicious that my choco-holic daughter likes them better than the chocolate variety! No. of servings depends on how big you make the cookies. Prep time depends on how fast you are scooping the cookies onto the wax paper covered newspaper! (You get better w/ practice! :D )

If I could give these more than 5 stars I would! To a pregnant lady craving peanut butter these taste like heaven! I used 1 1/2 cups of sugar and they were PERFECT! Enjoy! :)

Great recipe! Just as tasty and a bit healthier: use half the sugar and all natural peanut butter!

Yumm. I substituted nutella hazelnut spread for butter and added1/2 cup of ground flax seed, they turned out perfect! Thanks!
