Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix butter, graham cracker crumbs, and peanut butter together.
- Add powdered sugar and mix until well combined.
- Chill the mixture for 30 minutes.
- Roll the chilled mixture into medium-sized balls.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using crunchy peanut butter for added texture. If you want to reduce sugar, you can cut the powdered sugar by half and add a bit of honey or maple syrup for sweetness. Make sure to chill the mixture thoroughly; this helps the cookies hold their shape when rolling. If you prefer a chocolate twist, mix in cocoa powder or dip the finished cookies in melted chocolate.

These no-bake cookies are perfect for a quick snack or dessert and pair beautifully with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee. For a fun twist, you can stuff the thumbprint with jam or chocolate chips after rolling. They also make a great treat for picnics or gatherings, and you can serve them alongside other sweet treats like Florida Lime Pie for a delightful dessert table.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. You can also freeze the rolled balls for up to three months. When ready to serve, simply thaw them in the fridge overnight. Avoid reheating them, as they are best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.
