If you need a chocolate oatmeal cookie recipe that doesn’t require baking skill, this is it!

Cookies are my least favorite treat to make… not because I don’t like them, but because I have trouble getting them to bake consistently. This is probably because my kitchen is full of little people every time I try to bake.

That is why I am so thankful to have a No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie recipe that my family loves. This recipe is very simple to make, super yummy to eat, and most of the ingredients are already in your pantry!

No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

Recipes that are five ingredients or less are my faves! This one is just a little bit over that, but they are delicious and require no baking so I’ll forgive the 2-3 extra ingredients. Run to your pantry and grab these items because I am pretty sure that you already have them in stock.
