Description

Delight in these fudgy mint chocolate no-bake cookies that combine rich cocoa, refreshing peppermint, and chewy oats for an easy, festive treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups quick oats
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Optional Toppings

  • Crushed peppermint candies or mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, mix together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, whole milk, unsalted butter, and salt.
  2. Cook Mixture: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Once boiling, cook for exactly 1 minute before removing from heat to ensure the ingredients meld together.
  3. Add Extracts: Stir in the peppermint extract and vanilla extract thoroughly to infuse the mixture with minty and sweet flavors.
  4. Incorporate Oats and Chocolate Chips: Add the quick oats and semi-sweet chocolate chips to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the oats are fully coated and the chocolate chips melt into the mixture, creating a fudgy texture.
  5. Portion Cookies: Drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Use the back of a spoon to flatten each cookie slightly for even setting and shape.
  6. Add Toppings: Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies or mini chocolate chips over the cookies if desired to add extra texture and festive flavor.
  7. Set Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes to firm up. For quicker setting, you may refrigerate them instead.
  8. Store Properly: Once set, store the no-bake cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness and texture.

Notes

  • For extra chewiness, stir in ¼ cup shredded coconut.
  • Use rolled oats instead of quick oats if you prefer a heartier texture.
  • Adjust the amount of peppermint extract based on your preference for mint intensity.
