Chocolate No-Bake Cookies

I grew up eating these decadent cookies at school. My sister and I loved them, but we never asked for the recipe. 

Then years later, while my sister was volunteering at her son’s school, like a miracle, they served those amazing no-bake cookies. She got the recipe that day. She called me with the good news and shared the recipe with me. 

Today I am sharing that same recipe with you.

You will want to add these cookies to your Christmas cookie-baking list. 

These delicious cookies only take minutes to make. So if you have a chocolate craving, make a batch of these cookies and enjoy.

You might want to make a double batch since everyone will beg for more. 

How to Make No Bake Cookies

You cook these cookies on the stovetop for a few minutes, then scoop them onto parchment paper to cool.

Since these cookies do not require making baking, they are perfect for a camping dessert.

How to Store Cookies

I like to store my chocolate no-bakes in an airtight container with wax paper between the rows of cookies.

My favorite Christmas Cookie Gift idea is to add stacks of no bakes in jars, complete with baker’s twine and a tag. 

Who could resist homemade cookies?

My peanut butter cookies are the perfect fit for wide-mouth mason jars.
