No-Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

No-Bake Chocolate, Peanut Butter, and Oatmeal Cookies
Credit: Raymond Hom

It's no secret that chocolate and peanut butter are a match made in confectionary heaven. These chewy treats get a third partner: rolled oats, which add an extra layer of texture and might even trick your guests into thinking these are healthy. We've also thrown in some peanuts to boost the crunch factor and add a double dose of nuttiness. Best of all, these simple, rustic-looking cookies don't even require an oven. Just drop spoonfuls of batter onto baking sheets and let cool until set. There's no need to refrigerate them, either; they'll keep at room temperature for up to three days.
