The Pros of No-Bake Cookies

no bake cookies or energy bites, 5 of them in a white bowl

No bake cookies are the solution when you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to turn on the oven! Here’s why you should whip up a batch:

1. Quick and Easy
No-bake cookies are ridiculously simple to make. You just mix, chill, and enjoy. No need to wait for the oven to preheat or for dough to rise. In just a few minutes, you’ve got a sweet treat ready to go.

2. Perfect for Hot Days
When it’s too warm to bake, no-bake cookies are a lifesaver. You won’t heat up your kitchen, and you’ll still satisfy that cookie craving without breaking a sweat.

3. Minimal Ingredients
Most recipes call for pantry staples like oats, peanut butter, and chocolate. Chances are, you already have what you need on hand, so you can skip the grocery run. Dates are a common ingredient as they’re a sticky fruit and hold cookies together. I always keep a bag around!

4. Kid-Friendly
No-bake cookies are a great project for little helpers. Since there’s no oven involved, it’s a safe and fun way to get kids involved in the kitchen. Plus, they’ll love the delicious results!

So next time you’re in the mood for a sweet treat, but don’t want the fuss of baking, try this version of a cookie. They’re easy, quick, and totally satisfying.

We also call these cookies…energy bites! And we’ve got a lot more where that came from.
