What’s your favorite type of cookie?
My favorite is anything with chocolate or chocolate chips and no oven required.
I am one of those people who likes to eat the raw cookie dough (doesn’t everyone?) and impatiently watches the oven as cookies slowly bake.
In fact, I initially planned on baking these chocolate cookies… but the dough was entirely too good to wait that long!
Ingredients
The recipe calls for unsweetened cocoa powder, oats, peanut butter, pure maple syrup or honey, salt, coconut oil, and optional pure vanilla extract.
Add a handful of mini chocolate chips, chia seeds, or shredded coconut if desired.
You can use either rolled or quick oats. I love them both ways equally, and I’ve made these a lot! The version with rolled oats will have a chewier texture, so it just depends on your own personal preference.
Peanut butter may be swapped with almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower butter.
How to make healthy chocolate no bake cookies
Gather your ingredients, along with a lined baking tray, large plate, or cookie sheet.
Warm the liquid ingredients until they are easily stir-able. You can even do this in a saucepan on the stove if you want to make the entire recipe in one pot.
Stir in remaining ingredients. Chill until firm enough to form into balls or cookie shapes with your hands or a cookie scoop, then place on the lined plate and chill to set.

- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup peanut butter or allergy friendly sub (120g)
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (48g)
- optional 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- optional handful mini chocolate chips or shredded coconut
Instructions
- Warm the liquid ingredients until easily stir-able. (Feel free to do this in a pot on the stove if you want to make the entire recipe in one pot. Turn off the heat once liquid ingredients are softened.) Stir in remaining ingredients.

I like to refrigerate or freeze leftovers, but they can also be left out in a cool place.View Nutrition Facts

Notes
More healthy chocolate treats
chocolate chocolate chip. I also like the vegan everything cookies from whole foods.
lol
I love snickerdoodles (if i have to buy them, and i buy cookies like once every two years)
but chocolate chip are amazing – i usually make those at home for the kids (that includes hubby they’re his favorite and kids don’t care)
oatmeal cookies are pretty yum too. mother in law makes them bit dry – which is perfect for my tea addiction (russians I think are born with tea cup in hand) but those i get like once a year as well.
I dare say I love cookies about three times a year basically 🙂 🙂 🙂
but i am going to make these mochas. They look delic.
I had a question about your future book Katie, will it include all the recipes that you have on your website (at least up to that moment of publishing)?
She’s mentioned before that the publisher wants primarily new content, so some recipes will be from the blog but most will not. I just can’t believe Katie has so many amazing recipes that she can keep posting on the blog AND be saving some for the cookbook! 🙂
I think I remember that Katie said that the book would be mostly new recipes. I’d buy the book even if it was only her blog recipes.
i’m all for a 5 minute cookie! these look terrific!
Wowza, those look awesome. Question: could I use Canola oil in place of the veg/coconut oil? That’s all I have at home and I want to make them tonight!!
I’m sure you could!
Is there a difference between canola and vegetable oil?
I love peanut butter chocolate chip. 🙂
Another great no bake recipe!
Pumpkin. or zucchini. either way, soft and with chocolate chips.
These look great!!! but I must confess I have always loved oatmeal raisin cookies the most! even before I found out chocolate chips makes them even better 😉
Yum! I’m going to have to try these.
I love Chocolate chip cookie dough 🙂
Just made these without the instant coffee and they’re really great as no-bake chocolate cookies too. I’m going to try them next time with the coffee because my mom loves coffee-flavored things. 🙂 So easy and so good!
Yum!! Just add peanut butter.
Great recipe! So perfect b/c of its no-bake-ness and I have all the ingredients here in my office kitchen. I am living here this week–temporarily homeless grad student. I know it will be so deelish with a glass of nondairy milk. My hands-down fav cookie is peanut butter oatmeal, zomg.
These sound delicious – I can’t wait to try them.
I think good ol’ chocolate chip are my favourite, then M&M ones 🙂 but I’ll take any, honestly – these ones will MORE than suffice!
I love that you’re making things with xylitol more, thanks!
THANK YOU for a NO-BAKE recipe! It’s just too dang hot to turn the oven on, but I’ve been dying to “bake” something to snack on!
these look amazing! and perfect considering my mom is refusing to let me turn on the oven 😉
These are right up my alley!!! I want to make them this instant! 🙂
