You might recognize that the majority of ingredients used in this recipe make up the base for many cookies and desserts.

No bake Cookie base

• Sugar: As noted previously, sugar is a base component to most cookies adding the sweetness we all love.
• Cocoa powder: There are so many varieties of cocoa powder that you can use in this recipe, one I like to use is Nestle Toll House Cocoa Powder.
• A stick fo butter (1/2 cup): I prefer to use unsalted butter since additional salt will be added.
• Kosher salt: The reason I use Kosher salt is because it is not as salty as table salt.
• Milk: Milk and butter help create the creamy sauce that will be coating the oats.

no bake cookie Add-ins

• Peanut butter: Creamy peanut butter works best in this recipe, but if you can use crunch]y peanut butter if you prefer.
• Vanilla extract: When making a chocolate sauce vanilla extract can enhance the chocolate flavor while smoothing out the bitters of the cocoa.
• Old-fashioned rolled oats: Use old-fashioned rolled oats because they are a larger grain and hold their form when coated.

Equipment

• Waxed paper or parchment paper: Drop by the cookies mixture by teaspoon fulls onto a cookie sheet lined with wax paper or parchment paper. The wax and parchment papers provide a non-stick surface that you can easily remove the cookies from once set.

Tips:

Sugar Free No Bake Cookies: Many people have special diets that limit sugar in take. To make these cookies sugar free use a granulated sugar substitute like Swerve instead of sugar.

Dairy Free No Bake Cookies: If you would like to make dairy free no bake cookies substitute coconut milk and oil for the milk and butter. The same measurements would be used when substituting nondairy products for dairy products.
