Fresh Cookies, No Oven Required!

When you want something sweet to share, but you don’t want to heat up the kitchen in the warm summer months, no-bake cookies are a great choice. Their no-fuss prep means you can go from mixing to sharing a cookie in just minutes. And these no-bake cookies are filled with flavor!

A No-Bake Cookie for All Seasons

We know it’s always a good time for cookies. And that’s why this collection brings you seasonal classics that span the calendar, from No-Bake Christmas Wreath Cookies that double as a delicious holiday decoration to No-Bake Pumpkin Cookies that are bursting with fall flavors. You’ll also find recipes that taste just as sweet whether it’s warm and sunny, or cold and cozy. No-Bake Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies make an amazing, shareable dessert any time of year, or No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies can be a delightful after-school snack, or a simple summertime treat!

Get the Kids Involved

With No-bake cookies, it’s easy to get the entire family involved. Baking cookies together is always a fun family activity—but in this case it’s even easier for home chefs of all ages to get in on the action. Many of these recipes don’t require equipment more complicated than a microwave, making them ideal to teach young bakers some kitchen fundamentals, like mixing and measuring. Plus, while you’re sharing skills in the kitchen, you’ll be creating memories that will last a lifetime.

They Look as Good as They Taste

Unlike some traditional oven-baked cookies, these no-bake cookies put their ingredients front-and-center. You’ll love the way the cranberries shine through in No-Bake Cranberry Nut Cookies and the dollop of jam in the center of No-Bake Granola Jam Thumbprint Cookies adds a pop of color, as well as a burst of flavor.

Make-Ahead Magic

Besides being super simple, no-bake cookies are ideal to make in advance. Unlike oven-baked cookies, which tend to taste best fresh from the oven, these no-bake cookies keep their flavor and texture remarkably well. So if you want to mix up a batch the night before, or even a couple of days before, you can just pop them in the fridge. They’ll be ready whenever you are, since no-bake cookies taste just as good fresh from the fridge!
