- 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
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.
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!
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....
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! 😋
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!

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'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for watching and taking time to comment!
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 looks so easy and delicious! Thanks for your recipe!

You are right about that! So good! 😋
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!

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! ❤️🎄
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!
This looks perfect!
We love these! Thank you!
Yum. These are my favorite cookies. I will make these tomorrow!
We love these, too! I hope you enjoy them!
I like how you have your stuff all out naturally book recipe tools etc

I'm glad you found a useful recipe on my channel! Thanks for watching!
Looks delicious and easy!
They are! Try them! Let me know what you think! 👩🏻🍳
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!
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!🌹

I made these back when I was a teenager!!❤❤❤
Well, maybe it's time to make another batch! 😃
they look yummy and easy for even me to make, but if they are too good I will make them all the time. It was a great video.
I can relate to this! I know how to make these and all of the sweet goodies on this channel so I struggle to resist eating up all of my own food all the time! 😂 I hope you enjoy them!
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! 😃
Thanks i made mine they turned out great !!
That’s great! I’m so glad to hear it!
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!
Thanks for something Another awesome video and another awesome recipe. Thanks so much for sharing my dear friend. It was wonderful. Can’t wait to try this one out. Hugs and kisses from grandma, Sandy and Debbie.
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!
Thank you..looks good❣️
Thank you for watching!
Yum
These are amazing , just made them
Thanks for commenting! We love these, too! 😋
Yum. Thank you.
Thank you for watching and taking time to comment!
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!
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!
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!
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! :)
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. 🙂
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!
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 a wonderful video and something yummy for dinner. I always enjoy a good cooking video. Hugs and kisses from grandma, Sandy and Debbie.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching and taking time to comment! 🙏
Your honest open real true
Beautiful serving plate!
Thank you very much!
Yes! That's a gorgeous antique !
There fire love no bake cookies
Excellent thank u
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
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 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!
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!
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. :)
My mom taught us how to make when we were little. Soo😂 good
They are delicious and I’m glad this brought up a happy memory for you! 😁
Thank you for also including the recipe in writing down below
Of course! Thank you for watching and taking time to comment!
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 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! :)
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!
Shared wow
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. 👍
I will soon thank you
I hope you have a Merry Christmas!
I like your strawberry cookie jar
Thanks! 🍓 My mom gave it to me. She got it at Hobby Lobby a few years ago. 🙂
Look yummy. Thanks for sharing. How many can you make from a batch?
Hmm... to be honest, I don't know that I've ever counted them! It's going to depend on how large they are when you drop them out. You won't get as many as you would with cookies yo bake because baking cookies spread out so you can get more when you put a small one on the sheet. I'd say this would make about half of the amount you'd get from a basic cookie recipe, but these are also much richer and usually get eaten up quicker.
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.
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.
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!
is cocoa from like a hot chocolate mix suitable if can't find the pure hershey cocoa kind?
I don’t know that it l would work because hot chocolate mix already has sugar mixed in it so I wouldn’t even know how much you should use. You can certainly try it and then maybe cut back slightly on the added sugar. I just don’t know. 🤷🏻♀️
Can I put them in a square pan ? Will they sat up like that? I love them but when my sister makes them their very sticky but good so what is she doing wrong so I don't do make the same mistake
Hmm... I'm not sure about spreading them in a pan mostly because I don't know how neatly you'll be able to cut them. As for why they can come out sticky, that's usually going to be because they didn't boil for the full minute. It needs to be an actual boil for 1 full minute, but not less than that and not much more than that. If it boils much longer, they turn very powdery and crumbly.
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! 🙏
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.
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.
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.
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?
Can I substitute the Gran. Sugar with powered sugar?
Hmm… that’s a good question. To be honest, I don’t know. If you try it and discover that it works, please let me know.
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 .
Need the recipe for this
Are the oatmeal regular or quick oats?
I use regular oats. My mom prefers using quick oats. Both are delicious. 🙂
Delish
I agree! 😁
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. :)
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!
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!
