Easy No Bake Dessert

Yes, everyone loves a good fudgy no bake cookie. So, I took it to the next level and added some Nutella.

I happen to like Nutella and peanut butter together!

When I pulled one out of the fridge to taste, I was blown away. The combination of hazelnut and peanut butter in these no bakes is incredible. And the chocolate’s not too shabby either.

Biscoff No Bake Cookies are a favorite treat in my household. I especially like making them in the summer when the last thing I want to do is heat up my kitchen even more by turning on the oven.

STEP 2. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract, salt, peanut butter, Nutella and oats. Stir until combined.

STEP 3. Drop by teaspoon on wax paper and cool. Refrigerate until firm (about 1 hour). Eat!

How to Store No Bake Cookies

Once your no bake cookies have set, transfer them to a plastic container with a lid.

Keep Nutella Cookies in the fridge until it’s time to eat them.

We love to eat these with a cold glass of milk!

Tips & Tricks

Butter: I always use unsalted butter in my baking and cooking so that I can control the sodium in recipes.
Clean up: For easy clean up, line a cookie sheet with wax paper or parchment paper for chilling the cookies. After removing them from the wax paper to store or serve, just slide the paper off the cookie sheet. No pan to scrub!
Milk for Nutella Cookies: The kind of milk you use in this recipe doesn’t matter too much here. Whole and skim milk will both work, and you’re welcome to sub your favorite plain unsweetened non-dairy milk if you like as well.
Serve cold: Don’t forget to eat these COLD! The cold temperature really makes the Nutella flavor stand up and I enjoy the fudgey texture most when these are straight out of the fridge.

What kind of peanut Butter to use

I prefer to use a shelf-stable peanut butter (think Jiff) for making no-bake cookies. This ensures the cookies set up to the right texture without being too gooey.

You can use natural peanut butter (the kind you stir) if you prefer but the cookies may be softer.

One thing I love most about this no bake recipe is that the cookies firm up just enough to hold together but not so much that they’re hard.

The peanut butter and butter are important for achieving the fudgy chewy texture.

How long do no bake cookies last

These will keep for about 1 week in the fridge and maintain their great taste and texture.

Good luck not eat them all up long before then, though! I can’t remember a time where my family and I haven’t eaten the whole batch of no bake cookies within a few days.

Can you substitute rolled oats for quick oats

I do not recommend substituting other kinds of oats for the quick oats in this recipe.

Rolled oats are cut less finely than quick oats so the texture of the cookie would be chunkier and grainier.
