A selection of easy no bake cookie recipes including classic no bake chocolate cookies, haystack cookies, turtle cookies and more!
Try these quick and easy desserts when you don’t have any oven space, or you don’t want to heat your oven!
Every holiday my kitchen is a madhouse. When my oven is filled with savory dishes for everyone to enjoy, I can run out of oven space for desserts. That’s when I turn to my favorite no bake cookie recipes. They let me make amazing desserts right on the stove.
No bake cookie recipes are in huge demand right now. They can be made ahead of time on the stove which frees up your oven for other recipes. You can even put one of your older children in charge of the no bake cookies, which will allow them to be more involved, and you can work on other items from the “to-do” list.
I absolutely love how simple these cookies are. Most of the time they are an easy cleanup (doesn’t everyone like an easy clean up during the holidays?) and can be stored in a covered container until they are needed.
I have gathered a great list here of what I consider to be the best no bake recipes. The photos really do not do these recipes justice. Just wait until you make them and take that first bite. You may not share the rest with anyone, but rather hide them for a mom-moment later in the week. Your secret is safe with me. I do it too!
Here are the fantastic no bake desserts you’re looking for. Give them a try and let me know which is your favorite in the comments below.

This list has come in handy, already! We’re having a cookie exchange party with the theme of “no bake” so I shared this list with my friends. Thank you!
Thanks for such a vast list of recipes. Definitely will save them in my no bake recipe list. All of them look tempting and delicious. Definitely try them one by one.
I am not a great baker, so this list was an amazing find! Thank you so much for putting this list together! My family loves the recipes I have made from it for the holidays!
Oh wow, I’ve never actually tried making a “no-bake” cookie before, but they seem so easy and perfect for busy weeks! You may have convinced me to try one! As I looked at each featured cookie recipe, I kept saying to myself “oh, I NEED to make this one!”, then I’d see the next one and be like “oh wait THIS ONE TOO”, they all just look way too good! Think your nutella cookie sounds the best though (I’m a sucker for Nutella) – will definitely give that a go soon (and Ill let you know how it goes once I do!) 🙂
