Do no bake cookies contain peanut butter?

Some no-bake cookies contain peanut butter. However, this recipe doesn't contain any peanut butter.

What makes no bake cookies not harden?

Boiling the syrup too long or not boiling it long enough can cause your no-bake cookies not to harden and give them a gooey texture.

What is the best substitute for peanut butter in cookies?

Other nut butters, including almond or cashew butter, are great substitutes for peanut butter. If you want a nut-free cookie, soy or pea butter is a great alternative to peanut butter.

What makes cookies stay softer longer?

Storing the cookies in an airtight container will help them stay softer longer. You can also place a slice of bread on top of the cookies before covering them with the lid, so they stay softer for longer.
