CAN YOU FREEZE PEANUT BUTTER NO-BAKE COOKIES?

Let them thaw overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature before serving.

SUCCESS TIPS FOR NO-BAKE COOKIES;

1. The most important rule in a no-bake cookie recipe with peanut butter is boiling! In the first step, you should bring the mixture to a boil and start timing the one-minute simmer only when the entire surface begins to bubble.
2. If you are not very fond of cookies with old-fashioned oats, try replacing them with instant oatmeal.
3. You can also put the mixture for a short time in the microwave. This will make them even softer.
4. If the brown sugar cookie mix is hot and spreads over the parchment, let it cool slightly before placing it on the baking sheet.
