It Doesn't Get More Effortless Than No-Bake Cookies
You can make these rich, chocolatey no-bake cookies in less than 20 minutes! This super simple recipe is naturally egg-free and flour-free with just a few common ingredients.
Recipe:
Ingredients
½ cup salted butter cut into Tablespoon-sized pieces (113g)
½ cup whole milk¹ (120ml)
1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed (200g)
1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
¼ cup cocoa powder (25g)
⅔ cup creamy peanut butter² (165g)
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups instant/quick oats³ (285g
Instructions
00:00 Introduction
Prepare two cookie sheets by lining with wax paper and set aside.
00:39 Combine butter, milk, sugars, and cocoa powder in a medium-sized saucepan over low heat. Don't bump up the heat to speed up the process or you run the risk of your ingredients not combining properly and your cookies not setting properly.
01:15 Stir ingredients frequently until butter is completely melted (I recommend using a long wooden spoon as a metal spoon can become really hot).
01:59 Increase heat to medium and, stirring constantly, bring to a boil.
02:12 Boil, still stirring constantly, for 1 minute (I recommend using a timer, see post for more details on why it's important to not over or under-boil) then remove from heat. Continue to stir the mixture for several seconds.
02:32 Add peanut butter and vanilla extract, stirring until peanut butter is completely combined and melted into the mixture.
02:45 Add oats and stir until coated in chocolate.
03:09 Drop no bake cookie mixture by approximately 1 ½-2 Tablespoon-sized spoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheet.
03:45 Allow to cool (approximately 20-30 minutes) before serving, the cookies will harden as they cool.
Notes
¹I have only ever made these cookies using whole milk and that is what I recommend. However, readers have reported success using 2% milk, skim milk, evaporated milk, and almond milk.
²I do not recommend using a natural peanut butter (the kind where the oil separates).
³You may substitute old-fashioned oats but the cookies will have a different texture. Please see my post for more information.

No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
1/2 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup Hershey’s Cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups Quick Cooking Oats
Before you begin, have all the ingredients out and measured because this moves fast and you won’t have time to measure as you go. Also, put a long sheet of parchment paper or wax paper on the counter to scoop the cookies onto.
In a large saucepan, allow the butter to melt over low heat. While that is slowly melting, sift together the sugar and cocoa, removing any lumps that might be in it. Once the butter is melted, stir in the sugar/cocoa mixture and the milk. Turn up the heat to medium and begin stirring constantly. Cook and stir until the mixture reaches a full rolling boil. As soon as it comes to a full rolling boil, start your timer for two minutes exactly. As soon as the mixture has boiled for exactly 2 minutes, remove from the heat and add the peanut butter and vanilla. Stir quickly to melt the peanut butter. Immediately add the oats and stir constantly for one more minute, or just until it loses its glossy shine. Scoop spoonfuls onto the parchment paper and allow to cool and harden.
