GRANDMA'S CLASSIC NO-BAKE COOKIES



Grandma's Classic No-Bake Cookies image

This is the first cookie I ever learned to make as a child. They're very delicious with the peanut butter and oatmeal. You can eat them fresh out of the pan in a bowl with a spoon, which is delicious with a glass of milk besides. This no-bake cookie recipe was my grandmother's, and my mother taught it to her children, and I will to mine. I hope you have as much fun making this either by yourself or with your children, as I did with my mom. Separate cookies with waxed paper if putting in a tin or baggie to prevent sticking.

Tips:

  • Freshness: Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh butter, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality chocolate chips will make a noticeable difference.
  • Chill Before Cutting: Place the no-bakes in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 30 minutes before cutting. This will help them set and make them easier to handle.
  • Layering: If you want to add layers to your no-bakes, let each layer set completely before adding the next. This will prevent the layers from mixing together.
  • Dipping: To add a sweet and crunchy coating to your no-bakes, dip them in melted chocolate or white chocolate. You can also roll them in chopped nuts or sprinkles.
  • Storage: Store no-bakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.
