Ingredients
The cookies only require a couple of ingredients, most of which you probably already have on hand. Check out my substitutions and recommendations.
- Milk: you can use whatever milk you have on hand, whether it’s skim, almond milk, or whole milk.
- Rolled oats: the oats are the bulk of the cookie and hold it together. Rolled Oats, also called Old Fashioned Oats, are not the quick cooking kind. You could use quick cooking oats, but they will have a different texture compared with standard rolled oats.
- Sweetened Coconut: the coconut adds a delicious flavor and texture to the recipe. Not a fan? You can omit it altogether.
- Cookie Butter: spreadable cookie butter used to be an obscure ingredient, however now you can find it in most grocery stores in the same aisle as the peanut butter and Nutella. Trader Joe’s has a delicious cookie butter or you can order online.

How to Make No Bake Cookie Butter Cookies
No bake cookies are the best way to get your cookie fix without a lot of work! To start, you are going to need to line two baking sheets with parchment or a nonstick baking mat so you can drop the cookie batter on them to set.
Then, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stir together the butter, sugar, and milk and bring to a low simmer (step 1). Let the mixture simmer for about a minute.
Next, turn off the heat and add in the cookie butter (step 2). Stir this in to combine well and then add in the sweetened coconut and rolled oats and mix well (step 3).
Use a small cookie scoop to scoop mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets (step 4). Note that you don’t have leave a lot of room in between the cookies.
Scoop out all of the cookie onto the parchment or nonstick baking mat and let harden slightly (photo 1). Next, place chocolate chips in microwave safe bowl and heat on 50% power, stopping to stir every 30 seconds, until the chocolate is melted (photo 2).
Pour the chocolate into a small plastic baggie. Snip of the corner of the bag and drizzle the chocolate overtop of the the cookies in a back and forth motion (photo 3).
Let the cookies sit until completely hardened. To speed it up, you can place them in the refrigerator or freezer. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container on the counter for about three days or refrigerator for up to a month.
Tips for Making No Bake Cookie Butter Cookies
Check out my tips and tricks for making the best no-bake cookies!
- No bake cookies will need to be simmered on the stove to help melt and incorporate the sugar into the batter. Use a medium-sized saucepan so that you have room to add the other ingredients.
- Use parchment or nonstick baking mats to scoop the batter onto so they can set.
- If you want evenly-sized cookies, consider using a small cookie scoop to keep them uniform in size. Otherwise a measuring spoon works.
- Make sure the cookies are completely set before storing them.
To make no-bake cookies you will need to cook the sugar and butter on the stovetop before adding the remaining ingredients, otherwise you will end up with grainy cookies. Simmer the butter and sugar, then, off the heat, stir in the other ingredients like peanut butter, cocoa powder, cookie butter, coconut, and rolled oats. Nearly all no bake cookies contain rolled oats to provide texture and firm up the cookies without flour.
Once you scoop the batter onto the parchment it should harden within 30 minutes. However, if your house is warm or if the batter was really warm to begin with, it could take longer. To speed up the process, you can move the cookies to the refrigerator for a couple of minutes to set.
