No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

These cookies are really yummy! It's hard to believe they're no bake, because they taste like a delicious peanut butter cookie. I added some chocolate chips just because I love chocolate so much. I would recommend adding the extra chocolate for an even more decadent treat.

Very good recipe. I made them adding the peanut butter and vanilla last with the oats. A few key things are the 1 min ok nut boil. Do not overcook the chocolate. And another thing I didn't see mentioned is set time. You cant really pick them up until they are completely cooled. It took me around 3 hours on a flat metal tray on the bottom shelf. I lightly set another piece of wax paper over the top while they set to prevent anything from falling into them. And I also kept mine in the fridge the whole time they lasted. As far as quick method. Clear a spot in the freezer and place in freezer about an hour. My no bakes were tablespoon heaping size and imperfect shape. Just a few thoughts on them from my personal aspect.

I lost this recipe and had a hard time finding the right site to go to. My kids loved them when they were little and now I fix them for the big kids and my grand children. They also love them. Never used coconut. How much do you put in and do you delete the oats to lesser amount? Would like to try this. Anyway thank you for this site. I will not lose it now.

My grandmother made these cookies 60 years ago, and always with lots of coconut. Pure heaven.

Thanks for the recipe. My mom always boiled everything just the way the recipe is. Either way they are just as good!

My daughter is allergic to peanut butter so we have tried with butterscotch chips. I am working on a batch with crunchy sunbutter now (sunflower butter yummmm!).

I've been making these for YEARS and the trick is to bring the sugar, butter, cocoa and milk to a full rolling boil, THEN start timing for one minute. Remove from heat then add your oats, pb, and vanilla. If you boil these too long they'll be dry and hard and crumbly, so watch your cooking time carefully - only one minute after it comes to a full, rolling boil!

Couldn't find my old, old recipe, but this is pretty close. I have to make these cookies EVERY Christmas or I'm in trouble with my kids. :-) I also bring the mixture to a boil (1 minute) and then add vanilla, peanut butter and oats. One tip: don't use low fat butter or milk. It will not work. Also, I wouldn't try the coconut. These cookies can flop if you add too much of one thing or another. Been there, done that. Well, I'm off to make these yummy cookies. Merry Christmas.

Coconut sounds good. How much do you add? And I usually add 3 cups of oatmeal but how can I fix them if I only have 1 cup? Will it be just as good?

Make 1/3 of the recipe.

Hmm, add coconut. This is one of my favorite cookies! Next time I cook them, i'll try coconut. This sounds yummy!!

Isn't it great?! I've also adjusted the recipe: Use Raw/Turbinado sugar instead of the white sugar, and less than 2 cups. I like using chunky peanut butter, and I've also added coconut at times.

I love this recipe, but I always cut the amount of oats in half. I also add the vanilla and peanut butter at the same time I add the oats... I never boil the vanilla or peanut butter.

 Alisa replies:
I agree... add the peanut butter and vanilla at the end when you stir in the oatmeal. Also, I've used only quick oats and boiled about 1 minute maybe 1.5 minutes. They are a family favorite all year!
