Open in Pepper →Cookies You Make On The Stove
A pot of sugar, butter, and milk boiled for one minute, then oats stirred in — that's the whole thing. You can have cookies cooling on wax paper before the oven would have even preheated.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when the kitchen is already hot, when there's a bake sale in the morning, or when somebody wants something sweet after supper and nobody wants to fuss with a mixer.
Every recipe here is one pot and a spoon: classic No Bake Cookies, Nanas No Bake Cookies with cocoa, Stacey's Chocolate PB No Bake Cookies, bright Lemon Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies, Pumpkin Spice No-Bake Cookies, and Almond Joy-Inspired No Bake Cookies.
Quick Tips
- 1
Time the boil exactly
Once the sugar, butter, and milk hit a full rolling boil, set a timer for 1 minute. Less and they stay sticky, more and they crumble.
- 2
Measure oats ahead
Have the oats, peanut butter, and vanilla sitting right by the stove. The mixture sets fast, so you want to stir everything in within 30 seconds of pulling the pot off the heat.
- 3
Drop them fast
Use two spoons and work quickly, dropping tablespoon-size mounds onto wax paper. If the pot starts to stiffen, set it over low heat for a few seconds.
- 4
Let them set fully
Leave the cookies alone on the counter for 30 minutes until firm. On a humid day, 20 minutes in the fridge helps them set up.
