    Are you ready for a deliciously crispy cookie without all the hassle of baking? Because if so, then today you've hit the jackpot! This actually worked out pretty perfectly because my friend Alli of the blog Tornadough Alli just wrote a fantastic cookbook and she has the most delicious and easy recipe for no bake cookies in there which I've decided to share with you.

    Her book is called Untraditional Desserts: 100 Classic Treats with a Twist and is full of so many amazing recipes that I had a hard time choosing what to make first! Since a lot of my followers on Instagram have requested a delicious no bake cookie recipe, it was pretty easy to narrow it down. These Chocolate Peanut Butter Cornflake Cookies seemed like the perfect option!

    I have to tell you- these no bake cookies were not only crazy easy to make, but the results were dangerously addictive and we all couldn't stop eating them! This is ideal for those of you who aren't really into baking, but still wants to make a cookie that everyone goes nuts over, and with minimal ingredients too!

    Helpful tips for how to make no bake cookies

    • Instead of dirtying up pans, clear some space and line your counter with parchment paper.
    • When you're heating the sugar and corn syrup, be sure you don't go over medium heat. You don't want the mixture to boil, you just want to sugar to dissolve and combine.
    • When I put the heaping Tablespoons of the cooke mixture onto the parchment, I gently press it together with my (clean) fingers.
    • For some great tips on melting chocolate, check out this post on how to melt chocolate in the microwave.
    • The get a nice thin drizzle, go slowly and hold the spoon higher in the air.

    Frequently asked questions about chocolate no bake cookies

    • How long do no bake cookies last? These were good for up to a week on your counter in an airtight container.
    • Can I freeze these cookies? I'd probably stay away from freezing these as the texture may be altered.
    • How long does it take these cookies to set? I let them set for 20 minutes and then I gave them another 15 minutes to let the chocolate drizzle set and they came out perfect!
    • How many cookies does this recipe make? If you use large scoops you can get 24. I went with smaller scoops and got around 48.
