The BEST No-Bake Cookies ( Remember these?)

These no-bake cookies are thick and has a creaminess to them just like a delicious fudge.

How to Make No-Bake Cookies (printable recipe link below)

1.Prep: Read over the entire recipe. Line 2 baking sheets with wax or parchment paper. Measure out all of your ingredients. Have your thermometer,  timer, and large cookie scoop ready. (This recipe is about timing and having everything ready to go helps)
2.In a bowl, whisk together sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and cream of tartar until no lumps remain. Set aside
3.In a large, deep non-stick skillet melt butter over medium-low heat.
4.Add milk
5.Pour in the sugar mixture and stir using a rubber spatula.
6.Stir until all sugar has dissolved, being sure to scrape down the sides of the pot. Increase the heat if needed but do not simmer. (I check for granules by rubbing the mixture between my fingers. If it feels smooth, then you're ready to move on to the next step.)
7.Once the sugar has melted, increase the heat to a rolling boil over medium heat while continuing to stir. (meaning the middle should have large bubbles)
8.Once the mixture has come to a full rolling boil, set the timer for 2 minutes.
9.Insert a thermometer and cook the mixture until it reaches 230-234 F.  10.Do not stir. (You have 2 minutes to reach this temperature so adjust your heat up or down.)
11.Once the temperature is reached, remove from heat and quickly stir in peanut butter and vanilla extract.
12.Once incorporated, quickly stir in the oats just until combined.
13.Next, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of milk until the mixture is creamy.
14.Using a mini cookie scoop, drop two scoops per cookie onto the prepared pans.
15.Allow the cookies to sit until room temperature and set, (about 30-45 minutes)
16.Store cooled cookies wrapped individually in plastic wrap and placed in an airtight container.

I hope you see this. I’ve been making your original recipe that you posted 12 years ago since I was 10. Over the years I’ve tweaked the recipe to what my family loves most. I bring them to family gatherings and make them on rainy days. I love coming back on that video knowing how far it’s taken me now. I’m glad you’ve posted a new recipe so hopefully some other 11 year old girl can experience my same nostalgia over the years for it. Thank you

This cookies look delicious and simple to make, at first I thought it was a little Debbie remake of the star crunch which happens to be my favorite snack cake.

You have no idea how much you have made my life!!! 🥹 THIS RECIPE was my FAVORITE cookie as a kid and I only knew one person who made it this way but she never shared her secret! I tried store bought ones that couldn’t even touch the hem of this cookie’s garment 🤣 You just gave me the keys to heaven girl 🤣 from a fellow North Carolina Diva 😆💗 I basically ate the whole batch in one night 🫣

[childofTheMostHigh]

Finally a good use for those darn quick cooking oats and cream of tartar I once bought and never used. Can't wait to try these!😊

[soapydanielle]

HONEY These were THE cookies in the fam growing up. I make these for friends and they lose their minds. It's such a hidden treasure recipe 🙏⭐

[missyt]

Thank you for this. My Momma use to make these. She was a 'Room Mother ' at my school and any time we had an event, she was always asked to make these. We called them 'Preacher cookies.' Man, there were never any left for her to take home! 😊. These cookies are wonderful and bring back wonderful memories. Thanks for sharing this recipe! ❤️

Recipe (similar) takes me back. Gran would sometimes make a similar cookie (-PB) then put a scoop of ice cream between two and send us outside, lol. Might just need to give these a try... it's been yeeeaaarrrs. I'll use your recipe just as it is, which I always do at least the first time or two.... then make any adjustments +/- for taste/texture. Young Lady, I thoroughly enjoy your videos, and although I don't cook or bake as much these days I always enjoy listening to your voice-overs. Rapid fire never skip a beat get a bunch of info into a small bit of time with lots of humor also. But, the thing that I "feel" the most is the pure light and Joy coming from your heart not only when sharing a recipe but when remembering special moments or people in your life. Thank you for sharing. God Bless you Abundantly in all your needs and Keep you Safe in HIS Loving Embrace. Have an AWESOME week ahead.

“They just get better the next day”—if they last that long! 😁😁😁
Sadly, I am one of those ‘other’ tables at the bake sales. I don’t even want to think how many times I have wasted ingredients on these cookies to only have the recipe flop—and I love these cookies. I’m off to the kitchen!
Thank you much for this recipe and fantastic instructions! Blessings

I’ve made these twice now and they’ve turned out great! My mother even says these remind her of cookies her Aunt Bertha used to make. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us, and I hope you have a great day!

We had these in school but we're not shaped into cookies. It was in the pan and cut into squares. I do mine like that. I grew up when the cafeteria ladies actually cooked from scratch not out of boxes to warm up food!

[geeman]

Welcome back 🙏🏾 Miss all your cooking 🥘 and recipe

[debbiewright]

I have made these for 50 years, and never pulled out a cookie sheet. At the holidays I cover a folding table with wax paper and do this recipe times 6.My kids always have loved them, and my Grandson as well. Quick and easy!

[AmirTori]

I was just thinking of you! And here you are! I love this! I miss your hilarious commentaries like this! Always made me crack up! 😂🥰

[byronchandler]

Monique, your no bake cookies are well done.

[realtalk]

Okaayy....go head diva ♥! I almost thought they were the Lil Debbie's star

[WendyT]

Awwww!! That’s Awesome! My mama use to make us these too when I was young. Loved scraping that Pot. Lol

[mrs.t]

Oh yes….my family enjoyed these growing up and now my children/husband love these to!

[TonyBarger]

I can confirm that these cookies turned out great! I used half and half, and subbed about a third of the liquid volume for boiled down Kraken rum.

And in the end I added half a splash of half and half, and half a splash of the rum.

They set up perfectly, and now they have a nice rummy under tone. This was a really great recipe. Thanks!

[mnazz]
