My all-time favorite cookie recipe! Just a few ingredients and no time in the oven for these delicious No Bake Cookies.
These No Bake Cookies can sometimes have a mind of there own. I have made them for years and was never able to get them right overtimes. Sometimes they would set and sometimes they stayed wet. They still tasted amazing wet but no one wants to have to use a spoon to eat cookies.
I tested and tested and I think I have a no-fail recipe. Just follow the easy steps in order and watch the time. I found that in the past I let them boil too long to or not long enough. And even adding in too many ingredients at one time changed the outcome of my cookies.
Give them and try and let me know how they turn out for you! When you are done you can check out all my other favorite cookies recipes.

How to make No Bake Cookies:
Step one: In a large pot add sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa powder.
Step two: Slowly bring to a boil while whisking. I usually keep it on medium heat to reach a boil.
Step three: Once at a boil allow to boil for one minute I set a timer and stopped the whisking and allow it to just boil.
Step four: Once the minutes is over then remove from heat and add in oats. Mix well. Add in peanut butter, mix well. Last, add in vanilla extract and mix well. You don’t want to add everything at the same time and make sure to add them in that order.
Step five: Lay out parchment paper on the counter and spoon out the dough into cookie shapes. You want to move from pan to paper quickly so your cookies don’t dry in the pan. Allow setting for 15-30 minutes.

Followed the recipe to the tee and they turned put perfectly!! I refrigerated after I let them set and they were delicious!! Thank you!!
Sorry to hear that Sharon. I am working currectly on a video to give lots of details to help this from happening! It should be done within a week!
I’ve tried these before. Mine came out very dry and crumbly. It was not this same recipe. I need to try again.
So happy to hear that!! Thanks so much for the review.
So easy and so delicious!
These cookies can be tricky and I found when my house is to warm they will not set. I have even opened a window before to get a breeze!
Mine aren’t setting. I used the same order for mixing….not side why they aren’t stiffening up. They tasted AMAZING. But Any thoughts for the next time I make?
Hi Karen! I have yet to try these with almond butter and they can be pretty hard to make cookies so I can’t say if it would or not. If you do give it a try let me know, I would love to hear!
Yes! The weather can change them. I sometimes will open my window if my house is getting to warm but I guess in Flordia it’s warm outside also! Ha!!
Here in Florida humidity can certainly be the culprit just like it is with divinity. I will try your recipe and definitely follow the right. order on adding the ingredients.
Can you use almond butter instead of the peanut butter?
So happy to hear that! Thank you Samantha!
These are amazing! I’ve never tried to make no bakes before, I was pleasantly surprised when the came out perfectly!!!!
I am so happy to hear that Stacey!
