The Biggest Mistakes Everyone Makes With No-Bake Cookies

They weren't necessarily called "no-bake cookies" at the time, but the idea behind these sweet treats dates back to ancient times, when Middle Eastern cooks would combine nuts, dried fruits and seeds using sticky sweeteners. These relatively simple confections made their way into cookbooks by the great depression, adding cream cheese, butter, peanut butter and other ingredients.
Since they don't require baking, no-bake cookies are a great option for both experienced and novice bakers. But they're not foolproof. Lots of different factors can contribute to difficulties. Some are in your control, others aren't. So what shortfalls should you avoid? Here are the biggest mistakes everyone makes with no-bake cookies.

What's your favorite kind of cookie?

[@natertater4974]

I like making chocolate chip cookies in a mini muffin tin and then putting reeses peanut butter cups in the middle right when the cookies come out of the oven.

Lunch room cookies followed by chocolate chip cookies. I don't like no bake. Yuck

Remember, even if they turn out to be a mess, generally, the less than perfect cookies are still edible and or correctable. For example, by covering them in melted chocolate.

If you toast your oats in the oven first, its gets rid of that mealy taste. Doesnt need to be toasted golden, just before they change color take them out. If you want to crisp them a bit then baking to a pale golden color is fine too!! You can take the crisper oats and turn them to oat flour with a food processor. You can substitute all or half of the flour in oatmeal cookie recipe with the oat flour 💜💜💜💜💜 Makes them a wee bit healthier lol

We made these when I was young. That was in the 60s. Still make them today.

My no bakes turn out perfect every time. But I cheat a little and stir a couple tablespoons of good chocolate chips in just before the oatmeal goes in. Boil no longer than 90 seconds. They set up firm and shiny.

[@suebean3873]

Definitely. When I make my chocolate no bake cookies, once it starts boiling, only boil for a minute, two, tops or else they are not shiny and a not shiny cookie means they are dry and crumbly. They should be nice and glossy. My very old recipe asks for 3 cups of oatmeal and 1 cup of coconut. I used to put all that in them, but I’m trying now without the coconut and I add peanut butter which my old recipe does not mention. Just as good. Now the ones without chocolate are just as good, more like butterscotch type cookie. I’ll have to find my recipe for them, that one asks for peanut butter but no cocoa in them. Enjoy everyone. Super good.

Mine never seem to firm up properly

[@jaralynmajak3184]

Welfare Babies.....UNITE! LMAO! Growing up poor af as a foster kid, etc, we learned to make gourmet meals out of expired food and government peanut butter! No bakes were a Must Have treat for birthdays and holidays!❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗

Can you make preacher cookies without oats? Can the base sit on its own?

I made Chocolate Oatmeal Boil cookies a couple of days ago. They're all gone.

[@NuggetsDePollo]

[@jaycahuenga6416]

If I'm really in the mood I love making cookies from scratch...but like I said I gotta really be in the mood..

[@hollyely1882]

I think I just messed mine up because I stirred the whole time it was boiling. Does that sound right?! I just wanna know what I did wrong!! 😭😭😭

[@jessicacollins645]

I just did that too. And I don’t know if that’s why they aren’t setting or if I didn’t boil it long enough 🤦‍♀️ now I’m trying to figure out if it’s salvageable

[@timkunk3498]

Before I was 13 my family did not know I was allergic to chocolate, peanuts, and Coco. My god did I love runny no bake cookies! Gooey wet Warmness of it sliding down your throat!

2 minutes after starting to boil then remove from heat and add your oats

[@suebean3873]

@@Rizik1986 Yes, I agree, for sure no longer than 2 minutes. I like them gooey and glossy, not dull and crumbly like they sometimes come out. So delicious.
