No-Bake Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Oatmeal Cookies (Cow Patties)

I am a huge fan of no bake cookies, the first one I mentioned were the Swedish Chocolate Balls that I used to make as a kid.  This batch I got from The Brown Eyed Baker who recommended this for those moments when you are desperately craving something sweet and chocolaty but don’t have a lot of patience.  I can tell you that this will solve that craving and warning these are addictive.

I even had a few spoonfuls before they could set, so that is a warning to you, you will eat some out of the bowl.

And if you have kids I am sure they will love to make this with you, just like the Swedish Chocolate balls.

These could not be easier to make and the original name of these are Cow Patties, I don’t think I have to tell you why.

What kind of no-bake cookies do you make?

  7. I’ve never made no-bake cookies before but they would definitely be perfect for those nights where I need a cookie and I NEED IT NOW! But don’t feel like baking.

    Delicious!

  9. This is something for me. Actually, I do not like to bake cakes, but I like quite a lot all desserts and cakes that do not require oven and baking 🙂 my daughter would love them, too. Have a nice weekend 🙂

  10. I love these no-bake cookies, my mom always made them. They’re a really satisfying snack, Diva Espresso on 85th and Greenwood sells them. I find myself in that area regularly so I sometimes stop for one. 🙂

  13. Our favorite babysitter used to make these for us back in the 60’s. We loved them because they were delicious, but we also loved that we were eating Cow Patties!

    Thanks for reminding me of those days.

  14. An even easier twist on these is to simply put one regular sized bag of dark chocolate chips (melted) in with half a regular jar of peanut butter and two-hand cupped handful of oats in a bowl and mix. You simply cant get easier than that.

  15. The school district I went to as a kid occasionally served these as a treat at lunchtime. We all called them “Doo Doo Drops”. That was 40 years ago, and they are still a favorite, and they are still called Doo Doo Drops in my neck o’ the woods!

  16. Why is it that all these people commented on a recipe that is’t even complete.
    I assume the 1/2 cup , should be peanut butter since they are No-Bake Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Oatmeal cookies and there is not peanut butter in sight (or on site).
    Help, please!

  22. These high revs allow the buggy’s engine to spin to a really high rate, making the buggy go faster both off the starting line and coming out
    of bends. “The Trenta Bra encompasses Body – Rock Sport’s mission, which is to empower and enable them to look and feel good everyday,”
    says Dooley. Some of these would include runabouts, kayaks, pontoon boats,
    and even inflatable sail boats.

  23. Right here is the right webpage for anybody who
    hopes to understand this topic. You know so much its almost
    tough to argue with you (not that I really will need to…HaHa).
    You certainly put a brand new spin on a subject that’s been discussed for many years.
    Wonderful stuff, just great!
