Keep the ingredients for these chocolate coconut macaroons in your cupboard as your dessert emergency kit!
No Bake Cookies without Peanut Butter
While we’ve always called these cookies no-bake macaroons, but they go by other names too like Haystacks or even just chocolate coconut cookies. While we do make no bake cookies, this recipe is a bit different since there is no need for peanut butter (or flour).
A Note on Oats
Oats are one of those grains that are labeled so many different ways in the grocery store that it’s easy to get confused. For this recipe, you’ll want rolled oats as they will retain their texture. Quick oats will also work for no-bake macaroons if that’s all you have in your cupboard!
How to Make No Bake Cookies without Peanut Butter
You’ll love how easy it is to make these no bake cookies (without peanut butter). We start by boiling the sugar mixture which is then mixed into a few simple ingredients that you likely have on hand! Simply scoop and chill. There are lots of great possibilities for variations here. You can make chocolate chip macaroons by adding a cup of chocolate chips on top before they set completely. Or, you could add a cup of chopped nuts, or raisins — or all three!
