No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies are probably the most made kind at our house. I mean… what’s not to love? Chocolate, peanut butter, oatmeal… and did I mention they’re no bake? Yeah…. kinda the best cookies ever.
Honestly, though, it might be that my favorite thing about them is that I’m never the one who makes them. My hubby makes the no bake cookies every time, because his turn out SO much better than mine.
Since you’ve probably already got the ingredients in your pantry, no bake cookies are pretty much at your fingertips any time – and they take less than 15 minutes to make from start to finish.
And… because I’m not the no bake cookie maker at our house, my husband Mitch joined me on Facebook Live to show how he makes them.
(Side note: Isn’t he a total champ for joining me? Of course, bribing him with a Lego set totally helped… but still…)
See! His turn out perfect every time – and if you try them, be sure to drop a comment below and let me know how yours turned out!

It was a good recipe, and I enjoyed it. My mom personally would just add oatmeal until it was thick enough to spoon out. We like these with extra oatmeal.
