"This recipe for no-bake oatmeal cookies leaves out the chocolate and is a creamy peanut butter cookie you will love. There are so many different ways to make these no bake cookies but this is one of my favorites. I cannot leave these cookies alone when they are in the house. I like how easy they are to make and children love helping you make these and helping you eat them!"
