This is an old family favorite and a popular treat in America. The recipe is pretty sweet so you can probably safely reduce the sugar! Both kinds contain peanut butter, but you can optionally leave out the cocoa powder for just peanut butter cookies. Takes no more than 10 minutes to make (though you'll have to wait a while for them to set)! Get creative by mixing in coconut flakes, nuts, nutella, chocolate chips or whatever sounds fun!

Thank you so much for the recipes. I made the no bake peanut butter ones. Then I made the chocolate ones but added super chunky peanut butter to them and they were both great and so easy to make.
