12 Days of Cookies: Katie Lee’s No-Bake Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cookies

It’s that time again — Food Network’s annual virtual cookie swap is here! The stars of The Kitchen and the chefs in Food Network Kitchen (our bustling test kitchen) have some ideas that are bound to make it into your annual rotation. Stock up on flour and sugar — you’re gonna need 'em.

The easiest cookie you make this holiday season just might also be the one your family can’t stop eating. These require four only ingredients (crackers, peanut butter, chocolate chips and sprinkles) and are the definition of a satisfying, homespun treat.

“My great-aunt Pat makes these cookies every year during the holidays,” Katie says. “She always has them on hand for drop-in guests and puts them on the dessert buffet at our family Christmas Eve party. I like making multiple batches and storing them in holiday tins for gifts. Be careful, they’re addictive! You might want to make an extra batch (or two).”

Get the recipe for Katie’s No-Bake Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cookies (watch how to make them below), and check out the rest of our All-Star Holiday Cookie Recipes. Then, head over to 12 Days of Cookies for dozens (and dozens!) more ideas for your holiday baking extravaganza.
