Frequently Asked Questions
Crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits are the perfect choices to use for this recipe. They are easily available and work well with almost any flavor. You could, of course, use golden Oreos, or even the original Oreos for this recipe. Just remember to remove the cream portion in the center and then crush the cookies.
If you’re not too keen on using ground biscuits or are looking for a healthier alternative, quick-cooking oats could be an excellent choice. Don’t really want to use oats for your cookies? Consider coconut flour or almond flour!
While this classic cookie recipe is a winner all on its own, there’s a lot more you can potentially add to it to jazz it up!
Nuts: Nuts are the obvious best choice if you’re looking to add something extra to your batch of no-bake cookies. Throw in any crushed nuts of your choice- walnuts, peanuts, pistachios, almonds, cashews, pecans are all fantastic!
Seeds: The crunchiness of seeds can act as a nice contrast with the chewiness and softness of these cookies, so if you’re really looking to add a bit of texture, but are allergic to nuts, seeds are an excellent choice. Plus, they’re super healthy too! You can use sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, hemp seeds, or even flaxseeds- it all depends on your preference.
Other ingredients: Don’t want to stick to just nuts and seeds for this recipe? You could add in puffed rice cereal, crushed pretzels, mini chocolate chips, and even some mini marshmallows if you want to. And of course, don’t forget dried fruit to add some extra chewiness into the cookies- cranberries, chopped dried figs, and raisins are some classics that work wonderfully with your cookies.
These no-bake cookies are super simple and have a nice subtle flavor that everyone will love. And of course, that also means you have the chance to experiment with what you want to add in to bring about a little fun flavor variation too.
You could swap the white chocolate that the cookie recipe calls for with milk chocolate or dark chocolate to get yourself a batch of nice chocolate-flavored no-bake cookies.
Want some extra chocolate flavor? Add a bit of cocoa powder to the mixture. Just remember to use unsweetened cocoa powder to keep the cookies from turning extra sweet.
If you’re trying this batch of cookies during fall, you can add a bit of cinnamon powder or pumpkin pie spice to the cookie ‘dough.’
Enjoy the flavor of peanut butter and chocolate? Throw some chunky peanut butter into the mix, and balance it out with some additional crushed peanuts.
These easy cookies offer you the chance to go crazy with the toppings. You can dip them in the melted chocolate mixture as the recipe suggests, and then top it with desiccated coconut, crushed nuts, sprinkles, or practically anything else you like.
You can also lend these cookies a nice creamy flavor by sprinkling some caramel chips or butterscotch bits on the melted chocolate.
The best part about these no-bake cookies is the fact that they are freezer-friendly. All you need to do is lay them out on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, pop them in the freezer for a few minutes, get them out, transfer them to a freezer-safe container, and then freeze them again. They’ll last you for at least 3 months, and won’t even end up sticking to each other.
