- This is my mom's recipe for No-Bake Cookies, and it was my great-grandmother's recipe before her! We love these so much! These are known by different names in different families. I have just learned they are also called Minute Cookies and Preacher Cookies!
Here are the ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1 3/4 cups sugar
4 Tbsp. cocoa powder
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 cups oatmeal
Instructions:
1. Melt together the first three ingredients, then add cocoa powder.
2. Once mixture has come to a steady boil, set timer for 1 minute.
3. After 1 minute, remove mixture from heat and add vanilla, peanut butter, and oatmeal.
4. Mix everything together well then drop no-bake cookies onto parchment or wax paper on your counter. They will generally firm up at room temperature. (If your kitchen stays very warm, they may take longer to firm up.)
5. After an hour to an hour and a half, enjoy these delicious no-bake cookies!
My sister requested me to make her some of these cookies with Splenda and they turned out great. Type 2 diabetes.
That is great to know! I hope you don't mind, but I have pinned your comment to the top to make sure other viewers see it in case they are wondering if splenda will work for these!
@@OldTimeKnowledge thank you and I hope it helps someone else to know they can substitute Splenda or another sweetener.
@@OldTimeKnowledge But how much Splenda (packets), please?
❤
Thanks, I am planning to use Monkfruit
Just a tip. If you will mix the cocoa powder with the sugar before you add it, it will dissolve much easier
That is a good tip! Thank you! 🙏
That's the way I have always done it
Sifting makes it smoother also. If you cut up your butter in slices it melts faster and you won't run the risk of scalding your milk.
I did mix the cocoa with the sugar and it worked really well thanks for the tip
I've made these for 58 yrs and you can reduce your oats n add coconut to it and it's amazing! Add chopped pecans n chopped cherries! I've done alot of different recipes using this same method! Leave Peanut Butter out when doing some recipes! Amazing different cookies! Thank you! ❤❤😁
Hmm.... leave out the peanut butter and oats and cherries and pecans... I like that idea! I might try that some time! Thanks for the suggestion.
Adding coconut is a great idea!
yes, i have added in unsweetened coconut before, & peanuts (regular salted), too. for my latest (small) batch, i put pecans in. (i think the coconut was hiding. 😊 )
thank you!
I drop mine I nto small cupcake papers! Thanks for the recipe again! I first made these back in 1971 Home economics !
That's a smart idea! I've never seen anybody do that and I've never thought of it. I like it, though! That would make for uniform sized cookies! Thank you. :)
Home Ec. they need to bring that class back. I learned how to sew on the Bernina sewing machine and enjoyed the days we would get to cook. My favorite memory is when we got invite our parents for a dinner for two evening. We students cooked the same dinner and dessert for our parents. John McLoughlin Jr High, Mrs. Steiner was our Teacher, its been many years but I still remember that evening.
This is perfect, thank you! I didn't boil it vigorously enough so my first batch didn't set (my siblings still enjoyed spooning it up and ate it all). Your recipe helped me get it right this time.
I'm glad you were able to troubleshoot and get it just right!
I have made these cookies since 1961...always turn out perfectly....
A family favorite for 50 years, we pour the mixture onto parchment paper on granite countertop. Then cool and cut into bars. If humidity or the kitchen witch results in too gooey, it's no problem, we eat it with spoons.
don't know why i didn't think of pouring it out like that & then cut, thank you! you just saved me time from it setting up too quickly, even though i try to hurry. 😊
Thank you for this video. I discoverd your receipe several months ago and have made them several times now. Fixing to make a couple (or more) batches and put into Christmas parchment bags for a sweet treat to give to others. By the way, your receipe is just perfect. Thank you again. 😊 Merry Christmas everyone. 😊
I'm so glad you enjoy this recipe! We love it! Thanks for watching and taking time to comment!
My grandma gave me the exact same recipe and I love making these!
Oh, that’s awesome! I love these so much! It is an old-fashioned treat, and so delicious! 😋
This recipe is exactly what I've been searching for and couldn't find...thank you for sharing your Grandma's recipe!!!
I’m so glad to be able to help you find a recipe you’ve been seeking! 😃

When you started putting them out on the paper, it was like a flood of memories came back to me! My Grandma had these all the time. I think around Christmas, she put peanuts in them? My Grandparents lived a block away, one day when I stopped in(age7-8)? for my cookie,I told her that I hoped she never ran out of them.I remember her laughing and sitting with me as we enjoyed our cookie. Thank you so much for this recipe and juggling a great memory. I will be making these for my grandkids.❤
My mom sometimes made them - and still makes them - using crunchy peanut butter, but I don't remember her actually putting peanuts in them. I don't see why that wouldn't work, though. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment!
Your vid was great and I cant wait to try. Ignore the Karens. some ppl just have to complain about something.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching and taking time to comment! 🙏
Hello thank you for sharing this video I'm in Monticello KY and I watched a video that a lady use to work at Disney World can't remember her name but showed that when you use parchment paper or wax paper on a roll that u can wrinkle the paper to stay flat and she also showed when you line the paper in a round pan cut the edges and fold over the pan and do the same in square pan I hope I explained it right but Thank You for sharing this I just wanted to share with you on what I had learned from someone else hope you had a wonderful day yesterday and today 😊
Oh, that sounds like a good tip. Thank you for sharing it. Also, thank you for watching and taking time to comment!
This looks so easy and delicious! Thanks for your recipe!
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoy making these!
Oh...these are the best. My mother used to make them and I love them.
I'm so glad you found the recipe and I hope they turn out the way you remember them!
I have this exact recipe that I’ve been making for 5 decades. It was passed down in my family too but we used to call them boiled cookies.
I never heard them called that before, but it definitely makes sense!
Ditto!
Can you share recipe please I’m single dad of 3
I'm 64 and have made these ever since I was a little girl. I make them adding marshmallow or no Cocoa and use peanut butter and jelly very good and have added Carmel.
So many happy memories with good old recipes! ❤️
Interesting take with jelly. Do you add less sugar when using jelly and at what stage do you add it?
OMG. This was the biggest thing during lunch. Everyone saved their change to get a candy cookie!
I don't think they had these at my school... or maybe they did, but I was partial to my mom's! 😁 Seems like I always used my extra 10¢ to get a sugar cookie!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I have been looking for this for several months. I appreciate the fact that everything you do is explained well and that you have typed the recipe for everyone. Thank you so much!🌹
You are most welcome! I’m so happy to help!
I wrote the recipe as you demonstrated. My mom used to make these for my sisters and me. I’m going to give it a try. Thank you for sharing ❤
Just so you know, I also always post the recipes in the video descriptions. I hope you enjoy making these!
@@OldTimeKnowledge I didn’t know! LOL
I have been making these for years. One of my very favorites. Dangerously delicious 🙃
You are right about that! So good! 😋
BEST RECIPE IS THIS ONE! Thank you!!
Thank you for watching!
POWDER CHOCOLATE TIP: If you mix your powedered chocolate in with any dry ingredients in the recipe,
flour, sugar, cornstarch, etc.,
or in this case, mix the chocolate with the sugar in the bowl really well,
THEN add it to the wet ingredients
and it wont do the "hard to melt in dry clumps" thing when you add it to the milk & butter in the pan, even when it's still cold.
Thank you! I've gotten lots of tips about that on this video over the last couple of years! It is a good tip. 🙂
I'm 66yrs old and have been making these since I was a kid, with my mum. My mum passed in 2016. Missing her. I must double the recipe every time. I batch, not enough.
Oh, I’m touched that this video brought back a precious memory of your mom. ❤️ This is a very tasty treat so I don’t blame you for doubling the batch!
Sounds and looks delicious
I have made these for years and they are great and quick
We love these so much! Thank you for watching and taking time to comment!
Really enjoyed your video. My aunty use to make chocolate and peanut butter ones but idr having chocolate peanut butter ones.. so i definitely have got to make these and theres no time like the present! Hope you are having a beautiful Christmas season! 🙋🏼♀️
Welcome, Bridgett! I'm glad this video brought up a sweet memory for you! 😃 We love these so much! I hope if you try them that you will too! I hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas, as well!
I love No Bake chocolate peanut butter oatmeal cookies thanks for showing this i'm going to try it today
I love these too! I hope you enjoy them! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
For Christmas gifts, I use same recipe + a half cup of oatmeal put through food processor, and make truffles. a chocolate ganache for the center is pure heaven
Oh, that sounds like a nice idea! I may have to try that sometime!
Love your no thermometer rule! Full boil 1 minute exactly. Ty!
Yep! I like the no thermometer for this recipe, too! I'm hoping to soon post my favorite toffee recipe and that one DOES use a thermometer, but it's very easy to do.
i like that you cut back on the usual 2 c. sugar i see many others use, i have cut it back also.
and yay to, more cocoa! 😀
thank you!
oh -- i meant to say that i put mine in the freezer on a couple of oval plates, with parchment. i'd say they could be bagged up that way, buuut... let's just say their freezer vacation is a short one. 😁
** edited again ~
the idea of adding orange extract came to me when a thumbnail of orange salad appeared. oooo -- or maybe raspberry! i better get off of here, lol. take care, all. 😊
These are so good.
We love them! 😃
Thank you so much. I’m making these tonight for gifts . Merry Christmas 🎄
That’s wonderful! It’s a great idea for gifts, for sure! ❤️🎄

I have been making these for years every Christmas. I also got this recipe from my Mother. I use crunchy peanut butter just to add a little peanuts.
These are so good! My mom really likes them with crunchy peanut butter. I've always preferred smooth, but really, they're good both ways!
Thanks for this wonderful recipe.
Thank you for watching and taking time to comment!
Appreciate you sharing this sharing is caring
Love this stuff! Thank you for the authentic recipe. They so little plastic bags of these in the candy section of some grocery stores but they aren't near as good as homemade and they are hard to find. To make these 🍪🍪🍪
These are so good! I hope this recipe serves you well! 😃
I made these back when I was a teenager!!❤❤❤
Well, maybe it's time to make another batch! 😃
The best cookies ever!!! Ty for making it easy!!
You are welcome! Thank you for watching and taking time to comment!
This looks perfect!
We love these! Thank you!
Thanks for telling us that they get hard.the other lady didn't say they get hard she should have. Thanks alot I'm going to try to fix them.
Yes, they definitely should get hard. Well, not hard, but probably the chocolate part is a similar texture as fudge. :)
Well Explained, ingredient list,
and everything ready to go. No unnecssary chit chat, well don e. Thank you
Haha that's not always the case with my videos. But I'm glad you enjoyed this one! Thanks for watching and taking time to comment!
Looks delicious and easy!
They are! Try them! Let me know what you think! 👩🏻🍳
I added the peanut butter in with the butter, sugar, vanilla and brought everything to a boil then added my oats. Either way is good. 👍
Just made some..they are delicious...definitely 🍬 candy
Thank you and God bless you❤️✝️💐
I'm so glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for watching and taking time to comment! God bless you, as well!

Kris loves these cookies. Also.. I wanted to inform you that I took your gravy recipe from the biscuits and gravy vid and successfully made the gravy gluten and dairy free .. woot woot!
Oh awesome! I’m glad you were able to make it in a way that you can enjoy it!
Thanks i made mine they turned out great !!
That’s great! I’m so glad to hear it!
There fire love no bake cookies
Wonderful recipe. Thanks so much
Thank you for watching and taking time to comment!
Great video. I'm going g to try these
That's great! I hope you enjoy them! Make sure to not boil the mixture for too long. Exactly one minute of a good boil is plenty! :)
Thank you for also including the recipe in writing down below
Of course! Thank you for watching and taking time to comment!
I use crunchy peanut butter in mine, I used to put coconut in them, too.....yummy
This treat is so versatile! So many mix-ins would work great!
That plate is beautiful.
TY for the recipe, I haven't made them for awhile and couldn't remember the amounts.
Thank you about the plate! And you're welcome for the recipe. Enjoy and Happy New Year!
These are amazing , just made them
Thanks for commenting! We love these, too! 😋
I just saw one of your videos for the first time. I enjoyed how you presented the cookie recipe and have now subscribed to your channel. 😊
Oh, that's wonderful, Linda! I'm so glad you enjoyed the recipe and since you're a new subscriber, welcome to the OTK family!
No candy thermometer, no ball stage, I’m in!
Haha! Exactly! That’s one of the things I love about this recipe!
@@OldTimeKnowledge I’m making it now!😃. And they were perfect! Great taste and texture.
Yum. Thank you.
Thank you for watching and taking time to comment!
Yummy yes I got your recipe ; actually I made these when I was a teenager an I just forgot.
I'm glad you are able to make them again!
Tip, if you start with Room temperature Butter and Milk and mix the sugar and Coco together first you will have an easier time of assembling the ingredients 😃
Thanks for the tip! Others have also suggested mixing the cocoa and sugar together first and I do that nowadays. :)
Maybe a cup of shredded coconut also and chopped walnuts and perhaps a handful of chocolate chips,...still they look yummy even so.i used to be call them oat delights 😊
That sounds wonderful! Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment!
Thank you..looks good❣️
Thank you for watching!
Your honest open real true
Hi there enjoy your channel, are the oats quick 1 minute or rolled oats , thank you Norm
I prefer the traditional rolled oats because I just like that texture, but if you don’t like that texture you can certainly use the quick oats.
Thanks for sharing. Plan to make these this week.
Question: is the oatmeal Quickoats or regular oats? Thank you.
You can use either. I typically use regular oats. My mom prefers using quick oats when she makes them. Just use what you like best! :)
Which kind of oatmeal do you use? Old fashioned, or quick oats?
A lot of people have asked that in the comments. You can use either. I prefer old-fashioned. My mom uses quick oats. 😃 They are delicious either way!
Excellent thank u
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
When my four children were growing up I had to switch spoons several times so they each got one LOL no beaters so they had to have a spoon. They called them mud cookies
I've never used beaters with these, and I totally understand the need for multiple spoons. Licking this mixtures right off a spoon when it's done is delicious! 😁 I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
I've made these and love them, I've been wanting to make these again , Problem is , I have a dark cocoa powder and I'm not sure how this will effect the cookies. Or if I can alter in some way to achieve a milkier cookie .I don't want them to be bitter anyone has any suggestions I'm happy to listen ,please .
I didn't even realize there was dark cocoa powder. I thought there was one kind of cocoa powder and the only difference in making chocolate with it is the cocoa powder to sugar ratio. As long as you're adding the right amount of sugar, I should think they would be fine. What is the brand of dark cocoa powder you have?
We made a batch of these and went exactly by the recipe and while they do taste good they fall apart. I'm wondering if less oats would make them stay together.
You can certainly try less oats. That might help the issue! If they taste powdery, the mixture might have boiled slightly too long. Too long can make them powdery or extra crumbly, too short of a boil and they won’t set. I hope this helps!
I like your strawberry cookie jar
Thanks! 🍓 My mom gave it to me. She got it at Hobby Lobby a few years ago. 🙂
My mom made these all the time at least once a week. So good.
My mom also made the peanut butter ones .....no chocolate. I think you use like a cup of peanut butter.
We love these!
@@OldTimeKnowledge ....
Yes So do I but I never had a recipe because my mom wrote all her own recipes in a black composition book and when she passed my brother took it and pretty everything of hers .
You can also skip the scoop part at the end and pour the whole thing in an 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 aluminum pan. The whole thing firms up and then you can just cut them later.
Sure, that’s another option! For our family, we’ve always made cookies with this since it gives you many more easily portioned servings that way.
Shared wow
I will soon thank you
I hope you have a Merry Christmas!
Did u use reg oatmeal or quick cooking oats?
Good question! I typically use regular oatmeal but I have used quick cooking oats. You can do it either way. I personally like the texture of the bigger oats, but the more finely chopped oats are good too.
Of you dont want the chocolate omit the cocoa . I always hate chocolate as a kid so when I made these 60 + years ago I just made the peanut butter sooooooo good
Try it
Oh, I think I’ll pass on that. 😁 I like peanut butter OK but I’m not enough of a fan of peanut butter to want to eat these with just peanut butter. I’m crazy about chocolate! I have seen them that way before though. It’s great that you were able to find a way to make them that you liked them best!
were the oats you used gluten free? this was a great video btw!!!
I didn't even know that oats could have gluten? 🤔 It wouldn't matter if they are gluten-free oats or not because I would think they should work the same. We aren't trying to achieve any gluten elasticity here like we would with bread.
Is it old fashioned or quick oatmeal?
I use old fashioned but my mom uses quick oatmeal. You can use either depending on the texture you prefer. :)
Happy holidays Kwanzaa Feliz Navidad Hanukkah Season Greetings Merry Christmas happy new year bless your life
Happy Holidays to you, too! Thank you for your kind comments and I hope if you try any of my recipes that you enjoy them! Many blessings to you and yours! 🙏
I've been looking for my moms old recipe and I happened to notice the trim of your cook book. It has to be the same one! Red and white like checker print. Can you please tell me the title of that cookbook?
I'm sure it has no value really but for me it's sentimental. Thank you, the recipe was delicious.
It's probably this one, although this might not be the year of mine. In fact, I'm pretty sure mine was from around 2000 because it was some anniversary edition. My mom has one just like it from back when she was a young bride in the early 70s. amzn.to/3VPMyQR
Delish
I agree! 😁
Can you make these on cloudy/rainy day? Also, did you use a heavy or medium sauce pan?
Hmm... I've never paid attention to the weather while making these. I don't see why you couldn't make these on a rainy day. I think they should come out fine. Also, I'm just using one of my old copper-bottomed Revere Ware pots that I've had for decades.
