How to Make No Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies?

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Set aside.
In a large, microwave-safe bowl, add peanut butter and maple syrup. Whisk together until well mixed.
Heat in 20-second increments in the microwave until warm and fragrant, and the mixture begins to dry out (about 4-7 rounds). Whisk in between heating increments.
Add oats to the peanut butter mixture. Stir and fold until thoroughly combined.
Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced apart. Using a fork, flatten cookies to desired thickness.
Chill in the freezer for 15-25 mins, until firm.

How to store these No Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies and keep them fresh?
