No-Bake Cookies
Quick and easy No-Bake Cookies made with a creamy chocolate base and crunchy oats, perfect for any dessert lover.
Ingredients
For the cookie mixture
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter or a butter substitute
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, butter, milk, and a pinch of salt over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
- Let it boil for exactly 1 minute while stirring constantly. This helps in achieving that delicious, fudgy consistency.
- Remove the pan from heat and quickly mix in the quick-cooking oats and vanilla extract. Ensure everything is well combined for even flavor distribution.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Let the cookies cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until they are set.
- Once set, they are ready to be enjoyed! Store them in an airtight container.
Notes
Feel free to use coconut oil as a healthier alternative to butter. For a nutty flavor, you can add nut butter as a substitute for some of the cocoa. Store in an airtight container for up to a week or refrigerate for longer freshness.
