What's your favorite No-bake Cookie Recipe?

Jul 6, 2012 11:22 PM

In the mood for cookies but it's far too hot to turn on the oven.
Most of the recipes I'm finding are variations on the chocolate/peanut butter/oatmeal ones.
Do you know a recipe for those that's the best? How about other varieties of no-bake cookies?
When I was a kid I remember some that used powered milk but I'm not finding the recipe, does anyone know those cookies?

There's Haystacks made with either fried chow mein noodles or potato sticks like PikNiks (my preference):

You can also used smacked up pretzel thin sticks too.

Then there is a strange peanut butter cookie/fudge recipe that can be made in ball or bar form: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Whitneys-Peanut-Butter-Cookie-Balls/Detail.aspx My elementary school used to make these in huge sheet pans. We loved 'em!

My mom used to make some really awesome chocolate no-bakes. I'll have to remember to get the recipe from her. Until then I think these are close to one of the variations she made.

@lazyzombie: Bravo, I was going to be very disappointed if this wasn't the top answer.

Don't you still have to turn on the stove to make those?

@mikecris: The stove, yes. The oven, no. They are not baked, but that doesn't mean they still don't have to be cooked.

@bnbsouthworth: Oh I unerstand how they're made, but my comment was directed toward the poster's lament that it was too hot to turn on the oven. If it's too hot to tuen on the oven in my house, I'm not turning on the stove either. I'll make cookies on the BBQ :)

It's too hot to turn on the oven? We're frugal here and all, but can't you turn the air up a little? Just for a couple of hours? Baked cookies are so much better. :)

#1 From the Girl Scouts, (but now with the price hike...I'll be thinking twice about that) I buy extra & keep them frozen. Just finished some frozen Thin Mints...mmmm!

#2. Toll House Cookie Dough, Chocolate Chip, Refrigered Section, Squares.

#3. Bakery dept at the store, my CC cookies from there are so warm even with the A/C on, they melt like they're right out of the oven!

when all else fails, go to grandma's...if applicaple

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
