No-Bake Butterscotch Cookies are so hard to resist! Made with crunchy corn flakes, melted butterscotch chips and creamy peanut butter, then dusted with a bit of salt, they are so easy to make you’ll be amazed.
One of my all time favorite flavor combinations is that of salty and sweet. When they come together in the form of a no bake dessert, then I’m all in! That’s what’s happening here with these cookies. As an added benefit, they’ve got a crunchy texture in every single bite.
I must admit, I’m not much of a cookie baker. Don’t get me wrong, I like cookies but not really enough to make a big batch. I think it’s actually because my impatience gets the best of me so, when I can whip up a batch of no-bake cookies, well, I ready to bust out my mixing bowls. This butterscotch version of Chocolate No-Bake Cookies is a delectable take on that classic recipe. The combination of smooth, butterscotch and peanut butter, coating crunchy corn flakes is just scrumptious. To make these cookies even more temping, they’re finished off with a slight sprinkle of pink Himalayan sea salt. This is one sweet treat that’s so simple to make yet full of delicious indulgence!

A kindred soul! I am not a big cookie baker – they always seem like a lot of work for very short-lived results. Give me bar cookies or unbaked any time. I look forward to trying this recipe.
Mary! We are now best friends. I feel the exact same way. I hope you like the recipe. It was a BIG hit with Mr. A Southern Soul.

Donya,
I mixed up a batch on Saturday. They were gone on Sunday. Just mixed up another, discovered I was almost out of creamy peanut butter, so made up the difference with chunky. I don’t see any difference. This recipe is definitely a keeper. Thank you for sharing it. (Yes, anyone who doesn’t like baking cookies is most definitely a best friend!)
