Girls night might look a little different these days.
But now more than ever, it’s important to keep up with friends, whether that means virtual happy hours, picnics outdoors where everyone brings their own blanket, or hanging out with roommates or siblings.
And if you live alone? Sometimes girls night can simply mean Netflix binges in comfy pajamas and slipper socks, while eating cookies and drinking wine.
I’ve been having a lot of those lately… and I am not complaining about it!

If you’re home with kids, this can also be a fun and kid friendly weekday baking project.
The cookies are easy to prepare, and children can help with the measuring and mixing of ingredients.
Plus, since there’s no egg in the recipe, it’s safer for kids (um, or adults) to eat the raw cookie dough, which everyone knows is the best part of making cookies in the first place!
The chocolate chip peanut butter cookies can either be baked or no-bake: The pictures in this post are of the baked cookies, but recently I’ve been doing the no-bake version because it is way too hot to even think about turning on an oven.

Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut butter, or allergy-friendly sub
- 3 tbsp milk of choice
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup quick oats (for low carb, try these Keto Cookies)
- 1/4 cup sugar, unrefined if desired
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 – 5 tbsp chocolate chips
Instructions
- You can do a baked or no-bake version of the recipe – If baking, preheat oven to 350 F. Gently heat the peanut butter if it’s not already easily stir-able. Combine all ingredients. Form cookie balls and place on a baking tray. Press down to whatever thickness you want, as they don't spread on their own. Either refrigerate until firm or bake 7 minutes, then let cool completely before handling, which allows the cookies to firm up. View Nutrition Facts

I tried these with crunchy peanut butter and they turned out amazing!!
I love this recipe. I have made it several times. Today I tried it with cinnamon chips instead of chocolate chips. It was very tasty that way.
We made these with sun butter because that’s what we had in the fridge and they turned green inside!!! I had looked for a vegan green sun butter cookie recipe when it was popular last year and never found one. And they were soooooo yummy!!
Thank you so much for making them! Sunbutter cookies are definitely good for St. Patrick’s Day!
I made These tonight & they turned out amazing. You are the best Katie. Shockingly, I ran Out of peanut butter & substituted about 1/4 cup of PB2 with about 1.5 TBS extra of milk. This was so perfect. I’m in high altitude Denver & they cooked perfectly in 9 minutes baking time in center rack. Perfect batch for a solo human like me. Your recipes always save me. I’m saving this one to make in the future. Thank you Queen Katie!
I made these tonight for my kiddos to have for school lunches during the week, sortof a healthy but sweet option. I added a 1/4 cup of Vital Proteins collagen powder for added protein and 3/4 cup of PB. They turned out PERFECTLY & are soo delicious 🥰. I’ll be making these quite frequently I have a feeling! Thank you!
Absolutely love this Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter recipe. Love the simple ingredients. I substituted the sugar instead using 2 tablespoons of Maple Syrup. Then added 4 tablespoons of chocolate chips. We baked them exactly 7 mins as suggested and the textured was perfect. I will be taking this to my family BBQ. Thank you 💕💕💕
