No-Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies

I have made these for years, you are supposed to let the butter sugar mixture come to a light boil and boil for 1 minute, then you won't have issues with them being firm enough and setting up correctly. Don't add the peanut butter until you remove from the heat.

These taste delicious, but they’re much softer than what I expected. Mine didn’t set completely either so I set them uncovered in the fridge overnight, which just dehydrated them a bit so they were easier to handle. I think there isn’t enough sugar in this recipe for these cookies to set like fudge, which I suppose does makes them healthier than other recipes but creates some texture issues. Trade offs I guess!

These are very good. Made them for about 50yrs now. 1 thing that you do with this recipe is you not supposed to add peanut butter, vanilla, until it has cooked fully for 1 minute. Then take off stove, add peanut butter & vanilla. Stir, then use a tablespoonfull to place onto wax paper to cool.

The recipe is so simple. One would think it is fool proof. Alas, the cookies never set. I had them in the fridge for an hour. No luck. Put them in the freezer for 3 hrs and still the cookies did not set. I have reviewed the ingredients and instructions. I do not know why it failed. As far as taste.... that part is good.

Tastes great!

These were a great snack -- easy to make and very tasty.
