No Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies
Creamy, sweet, and satisfying no bake cookies with chocolate chips and peanut butter, perfect for quick treats or satisfying snack cravings without oven use.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together peanut butter, corn syrup, and dry nonfat milk in a large bowl.
- Add chocolate chips and Rice Krispies to the mixture.
- Roll the mixture into balls and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, try using creamy peanut butter instead of crunchy. If you don't have dry nonfat milk, you can substitute with powdered dairy milk or even a plant-based milk powder for a dairy-free option. Keep in mind that the chocolate chips can be swapped for butterscotch or white chocolate chips for a different flavor twist. These cookies are a fun addition to any party, just like the Cheese Ball Snack Mix.
Serving Suggestions
These no-bake cookies are perfect as a quick snack or dessert. Serve them alongside a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee for a delightful contrast. They also pair beautifully with Fluffy Cherry Salad as a refreshing side dish. For a fun twist, try drizzling melted chocolate on top before serving.

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want them to last longer, you can refrigerate them for up to two weeks. To enjoy a chilled treat, simply take them out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
