Cookie Butter No Bake Cookies
Description
Cookie Butter No Bake Cookies feature a blend of butter, milk, brown and white sugars, and cookie butter mixed with instant oats. The method uses stovetop boiling to meld the ingredients, which activates the sugars and thickens the mixture to the correct consistency. Careful timing during boiling ensures the cookies hold shape after cooling and have an ideal chewy texture. After cooking, the mixture is portioned onto prepared sheets and left to cool fully, allowing the cookies to firm up without baking. These no-bake cookies offer a simple way to enjoy a cookie with the flavor of cookie butter and a chewy oat base.
The sugar mixture is cooked carefully until it reaches a boiling point and maintained for one full minute, which is critical to set the cookies properly. Adding the cookie butter and vanilla after removing from heat incorporates flavor without overcooking. The instant oats coat well with the cooked blend, binding the cookies without requiring oven time. Cooling on wax paper results in individual cookies with a soft, yet set texture.
This recipe is straightforward, requiring only mixing and stovetop cooking, making it suitable for those who want a sweet treat quickly without heating the kitchen. The sweet, buttery flavor complemented by the oats' texture makes these cookies enjoyable anytime.
Proper timing on boiling is essential; under- or over-boiling affects cookie texture. Using a wooden or heatproof spatula is recommended to avoid getting burned. Cooling completely on a prepared surface ensures cookies set fully before handling.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter cut into Tablespoon-sized pieces, salted
- ½ cup milk whole
- ¾ cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- ¾ cup sugar
- ⅔ cup cookie butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups instant oats
Instructions
- Before beginning, line two cookie sheets with wax paper or parchment paper and set aside. Measure out your cookie butter, vanilla, and oats before beginning.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine butter pieces, milk, brown sugar, and sugar. Place saucepan over low heat and stir¹ frequently until butter is melted.
- Once butter has melted, increase heat to medium and stir constantly until mixture comes to a boil.
- Stir constantly while boiling for one minute (I recommend using a timer! Boiling for too long or not long enough can negatively effect the outcome of your cookies, see post or notes² for more details).
- Once one minute has passed, remove from heat. Add cookie butter and vanilla extract, stirring until cookie butter is completely melted and combined into mixture. Add oats and stir until completely coated in cookie butter mixture.
- Drop cookies by about 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized scoops onto prepared baking sheets.
- Allow to cool completely (about 30 minutes) before serving and enjoying. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
Notes
- Use a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula to stir; metal handles can get very hot.
- Boil the mixture exactly one minute to ensure cookies set properly; too short causes puddles, too long leads to dry cookies.
- Drop cookies about 1 ½ tablespoon size onto prepared sheets for even cooling and shaping.
