Absolutely! You can whip up cookies without an oven—no need to turn up the heat! With a playful spirit and a bit of magic, stovetop or no-bake cookies are like little bites of happiness that come together without a single oven-related adventure. Embrace the simplicity and let the deliciousness unfold without breaking a sweat! 🍪✨

Can you freeze No-Bake Cookies?

For sure! Freezing No-Bake Cookies is like giving them a chilly time-out in the flavor freezer. They might lose a bit of their immediate gooey charm, but once thawed, it’s a soft and chewy comeback that’s just as delightful. So, pop them in the freezer, and when the cookie cravings hit, you’ve got a frosty stash waiting for a playful reunion!

    Yum! We love these. I made them when I was growing up, and now my daughter makes them for us. I used to call them cow-pies since we were dairy farmers.

    Have you ever tried them in a casserole dish? I did this last time I made them and it’s way easier and just as yummy! Just cut them out like you would a brownie.

    Tried these tonight. Very quick and easy recipe! They were a little on the dry side but they tasted amazing! Everybody in my household gives the thumbs up. And I very much prefer this to the old school recipe I have that you have to commit half a day to complete lol. Thanks for sharing!

    Total bust for me. It seemed like that last zap in the microwave was too long…. maybe burned the cocoa a bit? I’m not sure. But these were completely dry and falling apart. 🙁

    Super easy microwaveable recipe. I made mine large so it made about 20 cookies. But, regular size cookies would make about 3 dozen.

    Great ingredients just like on the stovetop, except I used
    3 cups of oats.
    In Mom’s old microwave it could have used a minute more to cook
    I’m thinking.
    Thanks for sharing!
