No Bake Cookies
|
No bake cookies: no machinery required, minimal mess and waiting time. Minimal fuss.
It’s too good to be true. Surely something that simple can’t taste good.
I’ve got kids begging me to bake cookies. It’s been that sort of day and I can’t fathom the thought of dealing with kids and cookie dough: the stickiness; the licking dough off fingers, hands and bench; sigh… adding stickiness to the clean up that never ends.
Okay no bake cookies… even if you don’t taste good, your no-bake nature has won me over. Let’s get no-baking!
No Bake Cookies
Ingredients
250g Arnotts milk arrowroot biscuits
400g sweetened condensed milk
375g white chocolate cooking melts
250g dark chocolate bits
Method
Place the milk arrowroot biscuits in a ziplock bag; wrap the bag in a large tea towel and bash it with a rolling pin. The biscuits don’t need to be crushed till it looks like it’s been through a food processor; but my boys had so much fun bashing the bag, our biscuits were crushed till it looked like it had gone for a quick blitz through the food processor.
Place your crushed milk arrowroot biscuits into a large bowl.
Over low heat, melt the white chocolate cooking melts. Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the pot with the melted white chocolate and stir well to combine.
Pour the white chocolate and condensed milk mixture into your bowl of crushed milk arrow root biscuits and stir.
Let the mixture cool a little then add in a handful (or two or three or four kiddy handfuls) of dark chocolate bits and stir.
Pour mixture into a baking dish lined with baking paper.
Sprinkle a handful (or two or three or four kiddy handfuls) of dark chocolate bits on top of the no-bake cookie dough. Ever so gently press the bits into the dough.
Chill in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes or until it’s semi-firm. Take it out while it’s semi-firm and cut it into smaller pieces.
Once cut, place the no bake cookie pieces back in the fridge to set… or if you can’t wait (like us), dig in!
No bake cookies: no machinery required, minimal mess and waiting time. Minimal fuss.
Something that simple can taste good.

Hi DragonFlyMumma (love that name!). I too love that there aren’t heaps of ingredients or baking. Thanks for sharing and would love to see / hear how it works out for you. xoxo P
We just made chocolate truffles the other day, and I was thinking how brilliant they were for preschoolers to help with. Cam could virtually do it all herself.
This slice seems similar. Can’t wait to try it. Such a great recipe too that can be easily adapted. I’m thinking instead of the choc bits that’s I’d love to try peppermint crisp or honeycomb pieces. Yum.
Thanks for sharing.
P.S. You’re still getting some great photos.
OOooo chocolate truffles! Please share the recipe. I think we would all love that one. I am drooling at the thought of minty bits in this no bake cookie slice.
P.S. It is official. Hubby tried fixing my darling camera last week. Took it apart (several times), put in a new shutter, etc. It’s gone
Oh well… Thanks so much for your comment about my photos now. I still miss the shots I could get with my old camera. There is a time for everything 
.
Oooo, I wish I had this recipe earlier! I had a hankering to make something sweet, but was out of eggs. This would have worked!
Ahh… I know that hankering to make something sweet very well Stephanie
Hope this helps next time. xoxo P
Yum! These look fabulous! I love anything simple and no bake is great!
Yum!
Thanks Bek
They were very yummy. Hubby and I are still going through them with our cuppa every night. ;P xoxo P
This is a brilliant recipe. Sometimes I can’t bear the thought of baking either…. actually we had flour everywhere today.
Oh… flour…. Hope it wasn’t the sticky type… and if it was… hope you got enjoyed your well deserved delicious baked goods after
xoxo P
I love the idea of \’no bake\’ recipes as I am not much of a cook. Thanks for this great one!
I love baking (by myself) and I still love this no bake recipe (so do the kids ;P). xoxo P
You haven’t got me this time Pauling. I love baking! The only reason I bake is to taste that sticky goodness before it goes in the oven.
Oh wait! There’s chocolate?! Okay, sold. I’ll try these out next week!
Oh I too love to taste that sticky goodness. I just don’t like having to clean it up – (when baking with and without kids). Nothing a glass of good wine and beautiful dark chocolate can’t fix
xoxo P
No bake…….and they look incredibly yummy!! I will definitely will have to give them a try. Thank you so much for sharing.
I wasn’t convinced until I tasted it myself. They ARE yummy Janice. Enjoy! xoxo P
Oh dear….i am going to need to make some of these now and my hips aren’t going to thank me lol! Love how easy they are though…thanks for sharing Pauline!

No bake and only 15 mins to set? That’s my kind of cooking! Pinning!

I know.. I should have changed it ages ago – but you know how it is, admin on the blog is always last on the list and usually only gets attention when something goes wrong. Have fun with the recipe. xoxo P
