Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies, No Baking Necessary!

Hey friends! Sorry it’s been so long since I last posted- my man is in town, so I’ve been a little distracted! I’ve had my blog on my mind, though, and have a super yummy recipe to share with you all today. Today’s recipe is for No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies. That’s a long title, though, so we’ll just call them No-Bake Cookies. Here are the ingredients:

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2-2 cups granulated sugar (I ballparked the sugar and cocoa since it’s within a range)
  • 1/4-1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/3-1/2 cup margarine (I only used 1/2 cup)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 cups oatmeal (Quick-Cooking 1-minute)
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • Nuts, optional (I didn’t use nuts)

In a large bowl, mix the oats and vanilla. Set them aside.

In a medium saucepan, boil the sugar, cocoa, margarine, milk, and salt together for 5 minutes. Stir this mixture constantly to prevent the milk from boiling over and the chocolate from burning. Just an FYI, I started the 5 minute timer after the mixture started boiling.

Once the 5 minutes are up, pour this cocoa mixture over the oats and stir it all together. It will be a stiff dough!

Scoop the mixture into rounded balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with wax paper or a baking mat. You can either use an ice cream scoop to scoop the dough, or roll the balls between your hands. A word of caution: this dough is super hot (it was just boiling!), so be careful not to burn your hands if you choose to roll the dough between your hands.

And that’s it! You just have to let the cookie dough balls cool and it’ll be ready to eat. These cookies are so yummy and they take approximately 7 minutes to make- can it get any better?? I hope you give these a try and that you enjoy them as much as we did! Happy baking!
