Easy No Bake Cookies

These are for sure a childhood favorite! You can’t go wrong with this classic No Bake Cookie that everyone loves! It is a perfect recipe that can’t be changed.

Making these cookies with my kiddos brings back so many memories! Growing up I would scoop some on the pan and then take a giant bite of warm, gooey chocolate oatmeal, then repeat until all the cookies were gone. My kids do the same thing and it just makes me happy!

I love how simple these cookies are and how delicious they taste! I can never stop at just one! Try these Easy No Bake Cookies today and see how good they really are!

How do you make No Bake Cookies?

  • In a medium size sauce pan over medium high heat, add the butter, sugar, milk and cocoa powder. Bring to a rolling boil for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. 
  • Stir in peanut butter, oats and vanilla and mix until incorporated. 
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Use a medium sized cookie scoop, scoop the cookies and drop them onto the parchment paper. Let set and cool to room temperature.

What types of oats can you use for No Bake Cookies?

There are two types of oats that I generally see in recipes when I bake, old-fashioned rolled oats and quick cooking oats. Rolled oats are less processed, while quick cooking oats have been flattened, so it takes less time to cook them. Usually if you bake with quick cooking oats, you’ll get a softer texture.

I prefer quick cooking oats because they mix in quickly, but you can substitute with rolled oats if you want a chewier texture, or if that’s what you already have in your pantry.

You can – it just depends on how you prefer the no bake cookie texture. Quick cooking oats are smaller and absorb the liquid easier which makes the cookies more soft and chewy. If you use old fashioned oats, the cookies will have a less chewy, oat-y texture.

How long can you store No Bake Cookies?

No bake cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for about a week, or two weeks in the refrigerator. You can also refrigerate no bake cookies to help them cool faster!

Are your no bakes too soft? Try putting them in the fridge or freezer to see if the cold helps them set. This usually does the trick!

Can you freeze No Bake Cookies?

No bake cookies are perfect for making ahead and freezing. I like to make a second batch of cookies when I have all of my ingredients out, and freeze half for later. Then just defrost them on the counter until they’re at room temperature before serving.

No, they don’t. Just store at room temperature in an airtight container or Ziploc bag. You’re more than welcome to store them in the fridge, which will actually make them last longer, but it’s not required.

Can you add or substitute extras to No Bake Cookies?

Yes! I love to make these fun and different from time to time.

  • Nutella
  • Shredded Coconut
  • Almond extract instead of Vanilla
  • Chocolate Peanut Butter instead of Peanut Butter
  • Brown Sugar instead of White Sugar
  • Sea Salt for a salty/sweet combination
  • Add 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
