I love this No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies recipe! It has been one of my favorites for when I have a sweet tooth and need something quick!
You can also add a little bit of coconut (1/4 cup) to it if you want, but they are delicious without!
Easy, tasty and great when you need a chocolate fix in a hurry. These are wonderful, quick cookies. Perfection!

No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons cocoa
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter or chunky but is seems to make a more crumbly, dry cookie
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3 cups dry quick-cooking oats
Instructions
- Add the first six ingredients into a 4-quart sauce pan. Bring to a rolling boil and hold for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat. Add peanut butter into the hot mixture and stir until melted.
- Add in the vanilla. (almond extract is good also, but I only use 1/2 teaspoon almond extract with 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract). Mix in the dry oats until they are completely coated.
- Drop the cookies by tablespoonfuls onto wax paper.
- Let cool until set.
Recipe Notes
I have found that the weather makes a difference on the consistency, its best to make them on a nice sunny day. Also, It is very important not to boil them for longer than one minute.
