No-Bake Cinnamon Roll Cookies
Delightful no-bake cookies that combine the comforting flavors of cinnamon, peanut butter, and oatmeal, with a smooth glaze to finish.
Ingredients
For the Cookies
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup peanut butter (or almond butter) Feel free to substitute almond butter.
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup Adjust for personal sweetness preference.
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt
For the Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk (or more if needed for consistency)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is fully incorporated and has a dough-like consistency.
- Use your hands or a spoon to roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray. Gently flatten each ball into a round, cookie-like shape.
- Transfer the tray of cookies into the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Glaze Preparation
- While the cookies chill, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more milk to reach a drizzling consistency.
- Once the cookies are chilled and firm, drizzle the glaze over the top of each cookie using a spoon or a piping bag.
Serving
- Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with coffee, milk, or as a quick snack!
Notes
Ensure the peanut butter is well-mixed and creamy. Experiment with different nut butters for unique flavors. Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain chewiness.
