No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

Easy to make… no bake chocolate peanut butter oatmeal cookies.

If you read my last post, I mentioned that we were waiting on the birth of a new grandson. He is finally here, he came into the world earlier this evening and he is perfect. It was love at first site. I am so happy for our daughter and son-in-law and so happy that everything went well.

I  have been struggling with recipes of late, I have been trying a few things and things have not been working out as I had planned. It is so disappointing to have a recipe in your head and when you make it, it is nothing like you envisioned.  So I decided to go with something simple, a chocolate peanut butter oatmeal cookie.

Nothing can go wrong when chocolate and peanut butter is in the picture, right? And for another plus there is no baking. This will be perfect when summer rolls around and the weather is hot, no oven to heat up the house.

The cookies are choked full of chocolate, peanut butter, oatmeal and I threw in some extra chopped peanuts, well just for the fun of things. Instead of sugar there is honey to add a little sweetness, so overall these cookies are a bit on the healthy side. That is right, you don’t have to feel too guilty when you reach for that second cookie that you know you just have to have.

So bookmark this recipe for a hot summer day or make it now, just because they are really tasty.
