Enjoy with a mug of rich Hot Chocolate and Christmas Music!
My Mom always made brownies and no bake cookies when we were growing up. Santa usually got a nice mix of my Sugar Cookies and my Mom’s chocolate no bakes, he never complains!
Since learning how to make no bake cookies without peanut butter, I’ve had so much fun coming up with new flavors!
I decided to try my hand at another fast and easy no-bake cookie recipe that’s gluten and nut-free and perfect for the holidays!
Rolled Oats are one of my favorite things to work with for baking, there’s just something about them that adds great texture and takes me back to my 10-year-old self waiting for Santa to come.
These particular cookies are a blend of quick oats, white chocolate, and marshmallows. They taste a lot like a Rice Krispies Treats, but because they’re cookies, they’re a million times better.
A MILLION, ya hear!
I took these into work and they didn’t last long at all, plus everyone was asking for the recipe!
How To Make White Hot Chocolate No Bake Cookies
Step 1: Melt the butter, milk, and sugar in a large pot over medium-high heat and bring to a rolling boil. Boil for 1 minute and 45 seconds.
Step 2: Remove the mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, pudding mix, cocoa mix, oats, and 3/4 cup of the baby marshmallows.
Step 3: Drop large spoonfuls onto wax paper, sprinkle with more baby marshmallows and sprinkles, and allow to cool and harden.
Because this recipe is no bake and takes minutes to make, it’s the perfect batch to whip up with the kiddos or just for yourself. Trust me, I could have eaten them all on my own, SO GOOD!
The sugary sweetness and flavors reminiscent of white hot chocolate make them a treat you’ll want to make over and over again for years to come.
They’ll definitely be getting made again before Christmas, that’s for sure! I mean, who doesn’t love a cookie recipe you can make from start to finish in less than 15 minutes! Alright, alright, so you want the recipe, now don’t you?

Can I not use the marshmallows? They contain gelatin and I can’t eat gelatin.
Rebecca Hubbell says
The mini marshmallows can be omitted if desired.

Hi,
Where do you get the White hot chocolate?
Rebecca Hubbell says
Hi Cristin, this is what you’re looking for: https://amzn.to/2KXjkv4 – I have purchased it at my local grocer and Walmart, usually, it’s $0.50 – .60 per bag.
Cristin says
Thank you! I searched forever and finally found some at our World Market! Tried them tonight and they are great! Had to test for a cookie party I’m going to on Saturday. Question, how do you recommend storing them? I was thinking in a container in the fridge?
Kara says
My 14 year old loves making no-bake cookies. I’ll have to show him this recipe so we can give it a try. They sure look yummy!
Rebecca Hubbell says
Enjoy!
Brittany says
Hi, I was just wanting clarification from the way it’s written 3/4 1 1/2 sticks of butter. How much butter should I use? 3/4 of the 1 1/2 sticks? Or is it 3/4 up to 1 1/2 sticks? I’d love to try it out but I’m just reading that oddly. Thanks!
Rebecca Hubbell says
Hi Brittany, sorry about the confusion, when I transferred recipes over to the new platform they dropped some parenthesis. 3/4 cup = 1 1/2 sticks of butter. So, 3/4 cups is what you need 🙂

I love baking with oats during the holidays…but a no-bake cookie sounds pretty awesome right now! I’m pretty sure I could get a batch going this afternoon in time for dessert tonight. Thanks for sharing! #client
