Print Recipe

A quick and easy no-bake cookie recipe combining creamy peanut butter, chocolate chips, oats, and cocoa powder for a chewy, indulgent winter treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (250g) creamy or chunky peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 2 cups (180g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
  • Optional: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, sea salt, dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter and honey or maple syrup. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  2. Mix in rolled oats, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir gently to coat the oats evenly.
  3. Pour in milk and vanilla extract. Add more milk by tablespoons if mixture is too dry.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips gently to distribute evenly.
  5. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of mixture per cookie onto a lined baking sheet and press lightly to form rounds about 2.5 inches wide.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until firm.
  7. Once firm, peel cookies off parchment and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

Mix gently to avoid crushing oats. Chill cookies well to help them hold shape. For smoother texture, blend peanut butter and honey first. Adjust milk or oats to achieve sticky but firm consistency. Use creamy or chunky peanut butter, avoid powdered peanut butter. Optional add-ins include nuts, shredded coconut, or dried fruit. Vegan option: use maple syrup and plant-based milk with dairy-free chocolate chips.
