Recipe – Super Yummy (Super Easy) No Bake Cookies!
March 9th, 2010
I have to give my super sweet, wonderful Aunt Vikki credit for this one! She brings me a batch of these delightful cookies almost every time she comes visiting, and let me tell you, she is one No Bake Cookie extraordinaire! So, I would like to pass along this healthy (hey, it has oats in it!) chocolate, easy, amazingly delicious cookie recipe on to you. Enjoy!
First things first – the ingredient list:
1 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. cocoa
1/4 c. margerine
1/2 c. milk
3/4 c. peanut butter (creamy)
1 tsp. vanilla
3 1/2 -4 c. oats
Okay, here we go…
1. Bring the sugar, cocoa, margarine and milk to a boil. Stir continually and boil for about four minutes (don’t boil too much longer or you will end up with a bunch of crumbs when all is said and done!)
2. Remove from heat and immediately add the peanut butter.
3. While mixing, add the vanilla, then add the oats one cup at a time.
4. Put spoonfuls on long sheets of wax paper (you can dip your spoon in water between each scoop to help). Let them sit for a couple of hours until they harden (or you can put them in the fridge for faster “hardening” time.
Eat up! And remember, they’re healthy, really, they are! ;)
LOVE LOVE LOVE…. no bake cookies! But so very addicting! Mmmmhmmm!
Thanks Sarah!

Ahh…you made my heart smile with this one.
My mother has made these cookies for me a million times over the years. I know very few people who have ever heard of them…we have just always called them “no bakes”.
I adore my mother…thanks for making me think of her today. :)
Stacy – I love these cookies SO much. I’m glad I made you smile today. :)
Oooh just in time! We are bringing dessert for our Bible study tomorrow :) Thanks, these look yum.

We call these “chocolate monsters” at our house. And since our son is allergic to peanuts, we make it minus the pb. The cookies are still delicious!

yay i love those cookies i remember when you made them one time for us and they very so yummy!
Yes, I believe King Los ate them all…kind of like when he ate all the girl scout cookies the other night… ;)
I think No Bake Cookies are my all-time favorite cookie! I’m so glad I can still eat them after finding out I have an egg allergy. They’re one of the few desserts that doesn’t need modified.
Yum!! I just made these a few nights ago! We tried them with honey to call them breakfast cookies LOL :)
Sometimes I leave out the PB and add in coconut. Yummy!!
LOVE these cookies! They are probably my favorites.

Debbie – what?! Does your husband have taste buds?!!!!!!!! :)
We called them “Moondrops”. My mother used to make these when we lived in Florida (minus the pb), but when we moved to Michigan they would not set right. Now, I can’t eat oats so I can only dream about them.

I can (and have) eat all of them. These are what I crave all the time!!
I made these a few months ago without the peanut butter and I used butter instead of margarine. I’m going to have to try these with the PB! They are so great because the ingredients consist of what is typically in most cupboards. Thanks for sharing. :)

I love no-bake cookies! And actually, they do have the potential to be fairly healthy. :)

I love these! We always just called them ‘chocolate oatmeal cookies’, but it’s the same type of recipe. The funny thing is with all of our family’s allergies I did tweak it to be more healthy! I substitute agave nectar or turbinado sugar so it isn’t refined, use organic butter and milk, natural peanut butter or even sunflower butter for those allergic to peanuts, vanilla flavoring(without corn syrup) and organic whole oats. It’s still tastes great and really does make a snack that isn’t all that unhealthy if you eat them occasionally! :-)
Okay, this pregnant lady now has a craving so I might just go make some and see if I can keep them down!

I remember these so well. First cookies my Mom ever let me make by myself. We also would add pecans.

You have to be stalking me. Or something. This is the cookie that I have been binging on all last week.
What? I’m a college student. Our version of “healthy” is hot dogs anyway. ^_^
Oh yes… these are a favorite in my family! So easy! And yes… they do have oats in them… how bad can that be?! ;)

I Love Love Love No-Bake Cookies! Your recipe is just like the one passed down to me from my mom. I have tried many times to make them, but they just never turn out like a ‘cookie’. I get a goo-ey, but oh-so-wonderful-tasting mess! :)

There is definitely a blogger conspiracy today. Too many fattening, delicious recipes posted today.

Before my husband became the “cookie man” in my house (his double chocolate white chocolate chip cookies are to. die. for.), these were my FAVORITE cookies! They’re soooo easy! And soooo good! Makes me want one NOW! : )
Heathahlee´s last blog post … I’ve Done It Again…
These have always been one of my all time favorite cookies. They used to make them in my elementary school and my mom snagged the recipe from the school (then cut it down to a manageable size). Another variation is to leave out the cocoa and have PB no bakes……..my fave….mmmmmmmmm! :)
Oh my mother made these for us all the time when I was growing up. We called them “candy cookies”. They are so easy and so good!

Sarah Mae – you actually can make these healthier – probably still not healthy, though! Ha! Replace peanut butter with a nut butter. I have used either almond or cashew, use real butter, and cut the sugar down. {grin} One of my childhood favorites is these “no bakes” that you shared!

Oh, I forgot to say – use old fashioned oats, too – that will up the fiber! {wink}

Yum! I’ve made something similar to these, only I used Kashi’s puffed cereal instead of the oats. They were delicious!

Nice to see that there will be some sweet cookies for me! Something to look forward to at lunch when I get home. They look fantastic.
Love Ya
I Just stumbled upon this site, and lo and behold some of my favorite cookies from childhood! Thanks for the memories!
These are my husband’s favorite cookies ever! Down here in the south we call them “Preacher Cookies.” Or even better, “Chewie Charlies!”
My mother made these for us when we were kids all the time. The only difference was that she added coconut to them. Mmmmmm! I make them for my kids now and they love them. We call them Mud pies or Mud balls up here in Canada!
