How to make no-bake cookies:
This is the best no-bake cookie recipe. They come together so fast. This no-bake oatmeal cookie recipe comes together in just 10 minutes.
It’s a simple recipe and has simple ingredients. I like to make them on Sunday evening before we start a movie or even before school if I’m running low on groceries and the kids need a treat for their lunches.
There are a few things that will help your no-bake endeavors come off without a hitch. I like to make my no-bake cookies in a non-stick pan.
A non-stick pan will help keep your cookies from burning and it also makes cleanup that much easier.
It works great to drop your cookies onto wax paper or parchment paper.
If you’re in a pinch and don’t have wax or parchment paper, a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick spray works great too. I usually try to use parchment paper because it makes clean up that much easier.
Variations of No-Bake Cookies:
- Add 1/2 cup of coconut in place of 1/2 cup of oats
- Add 1/4 Cup Cocoa powder to make the chocolate peanut butter
- Switch out the Peanut butter for Almond butter or Nutella
- Switch out the vanilla extract for almond extract or coconut extract
- add more marshmallows and don’t let them melt all the way
Tips For Making The Best NO-BAKE COOKIE:
- Have your parchment or wax paper already laid out
- Have your peanut butter and marshmallows already pre-measured (The sugar mixture only boils for 1 minute and if it’s not already measured, it might burn.)
- Use a non-stick pan
