No Bake Cookie Ingredients
Chocolate peanut butter no-bake cookies are easy to make, no eggs, oven, or candy thermometer required!
Base – Sugar adds sweetness but also creates the perfect texture. Butter adds flavor and milk give the right consistency. Cocoa Powder – Cocoa powder adds a rich chocolatey flavor. Oatmeal – Quick cooking oats give these cookies a chewy texture and help bind the ingredients. If you have only old fashioned oats or rolled oats, give them a quick blitz in the food processor or blender. Peanut Butter – Choose crunch or creamy peanut butter! Almond butter or cashew butter can be used as well. Sunflower seed butter is an excellent choice for nut-free cookies. Variations – Chia seeds, coconut, semi-sweet or white chocolate chips, and chopped pieces of dried fruit make no-bake cookies extra tasty!
