No Bake Cookies hold a very special place in my heart. It is the first cookie I made all by myself. I remember making these yummy peanut butter, chocolate and oats cookies in my 6th grade Home Ec class. I don’t even think they still offer home economics in middle school?! I put a modern twist on the cookies by using Almond Milk.
I love No Bake Cookies because they are simple to make. No baking evolved (hence the name), just stiring a few ingredients over a stove top then lay them out to dry, I mean if a class of thirty 6th grades can make these cookies, I’d say they’re pretty fail proof.
I am on a almond milk kick right now. I just made some PB2 Oatmeal using that milk. Have you ever used it before? I definitely like the unsweetened almond milk better the the vanilla. It’s a great alternative for dairy and the cookies still taste amazing!
- 1/2 cup or 1 stick unsalted Butter
- 2 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Almond Milk
- 4 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 cup Peanut Butter (I use smooth)
- 3 1/4 cup Quick cooking Oats
- 2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- Combined stick butter, sugar, milk and cocoa powder in a large saucepan over high heat
- Bring to a rolling boil, and boil for 1 minute
- Remove saucepan and stir in peanut butter, oats and vanilla extract
- Drop about 1 Tbsp of the mixture onto wax/foil paper
- Let cool until the cookie have set
Oh home economics classes I remember mine fondly.
I can’t wait to give these No-Bake cookies a try! I love the unsweetened almond milk too.
Visiting from Saturday Night Fever 🙂
Wasn’t home ec fun,Jamie?! Let me know what you think of my recipe. I am totally hooked on unsweetened almond milk!
Hmm… I’ve not had a problem with the cookies being mushy. Maybe you can try to add just a little more oats.
oh my goodness these are wonderful!!!! xo P.S. did you get my emails?
Thanks Katherine! Yes, I did receive your email 🙂

Yep, that was easy peasy! We drink Rice Milk which has a thinner consistency. Thanks again for sharing and linking up with us at the #WWDParty! Have a wonderful weekend!
I’ve not tried rice milk. Hope you like the recipe. Thanks for hosting, Antionette!
These look so good, Katie! I haven’t made no-bake cookies in forever! I just bought almond milk for the first time last week and holy cow. I loved it! My family would love these! Thanks for sharing at Saturday Night Fever Link Party – hope to see you again this weekend! Pined to our group board!
I just started using almond milk too, Jen! I love it. It has to be unsweetened though. I can’t do the vanilla. Thanks for hosting a fab party!!!
These look yummy! I am going to have to try with almond milk!
Hope you like the recipe with almond milk, Melissa! Thanks for stopping by!
No-Bakes were also a first for me. 🙂 I still use my mom’s recipe.
Aren’t they the best, Annette?! SO glad you stopped by 🙂
Thanks for the recipe! I was wondering if other milks worked. We are dairy free in our house. I actually used vanilla coconut milk because that’s what I had. Turned out delicious!!
Oh fabulous! I’ve not tried any other kind of milk. Glad to know the vanilla coconut milk worked. Thanks for sharing, Kelli!
These look amazing. Love no bakes!
Thanks ladies! I LOVE no bakes too. Mmmm…chocolate and peanut butter. There’s nothing better!
Looks great! I would love it if you joined and contribute your awesome posts at my link party at City of Creative Dreams, starts on Fridays 😀 Hope to see you there at City of Creative Dreams Link Party.
I love no bake cookies!!! I can’t ,make them because I will eat them all!!lol
I think I’ve perfected these old-school cookies to make them just a tiny bit healthier (at least, that’s what I tell myself!): add some ground flax, chopped dried cherries, throw in a few chopped almonds. Then I hide them deep in the refrigerator crisper so I don’t eat one every single time I open the door! So good!
That sounds amazing, Deb! I will have to try that next time I make the cookies. Thanks for stopping by!
