Irish Cream No Bake Cookies
These Irish Cream No Bake Cookies are a boozy twist on the classic no bake cookie recipe! Perfect for St. Patrick’s Day!
This Irish Cream No Bake Cookies recipe is one of my most requested recipes! So I figured it was finally time just to share it here so all my friends and family could easily access it rather than texting me every few months for it.
Plus, I thought you guys might enjoy it too! I’ve made this recipe for years, and it is one of the best cookies that come out of my kitchen on a regular basis, but especially this time of year.
With St. Patrick’s Day sneaking right up on us, these Irish Cream No Bake Cookies are both seasonal and quite delightful!
The Irish Cream blossoms with the sugar and oatmeal for a slightly sweet alcoholic punch, but don’t worry, there’s only 1 cup of liqueur in the entire batch.
However, add them all to an airtight container for an hour or so and when you open it you’ll definitely know what they’re laced with!
I’ve played around with the recipe a lot trying to perfect it, but honestly, it always comes out tasting delicious!
The Minute Oats are a MUST when it comes to no-bake cookies and YES, 2 cups of sugar is accurate.
You can swap out the vanilla instant pudding mix for white chocolate, cheesecake, or chocolate.
Personally, I love the white chocolate, and the cheesecake and chocolate are good, just note that they do tend to overpower the Irish Cream a bit.
These cookies can be made with or without the powdered creamer, but I prefer them with it!

- ¾ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups 1-minute oatmeal
- 1 (3.4 oz.) box instant vanilla pudding mix dry
- ¼ cup powdered coffee creamer
Instructions
- Add 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup Irish Cream Liqueur, ¾ cup unsalted butter, and ¼ teaspoon salt to a large pot and stir frequently until it comes to a boil. Keep on a rolling boil for 90 seconds, stirring just a little bit.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract followed by 4 cups 1-minute oatmeal, 1 (3.4 oz.) box instant vanilla pudding mix, and ¼ cup powdered coffee creamer. Once fully combined, plop large spoonfuls onto wax paper and let set for about an hour.

Notes
- You can replace vanilla pudding with white chocolate, chocolate, or cheesecake pudding.
- If you would prefer them to be less boozy, I recommend 1/2 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of Irish Cream liqueur.
- It’s very important to have a rolling boil for 90 seconds, if you undercook then your cookies won’t harden and if you overcook then your cookies will turn out dry and crumbly.
- Cookies will have a hard time setting if it’s raining or humid.

What are you referring to with powdered coffee creamer (coffee mate) or powdered milk? Thanks in advance.
Generally I use coffee mate for these cookies, but either will work!
These were so easy, tasty & super quick to throw together for a girls night! I sprinkled with powdered sugar on top & they look more appetizing that way in my opinion. Recipe needs editing in first step to include sugar (it has butter twice) but otherwise will definitely be making again!
Hi Rebecca! Greetings from Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦.
Just wanted to know if you stir the butter/sugar, etc mixture while it’s coming to a boil, &/or while it’s boiling? Thanks! I REALLY want to make them 😇 😁
I just clarified and updated the recipe card 🙂
Terrible! I am an experienced baker. I followed the instructions exactly. The cookies did not set up. What a waste of time, and expense ingredients.
I’m sorry these didn’t turn out for you. It is summertime, so did you make sure to boil a little longer to account for any humidity in the air?
Loved these. Made them just as recipe stated. The day was a little rainy, so I think they would have set up even better had there been less humidity in the air. I made them as a Father’s Day gift for my dad who was about to go to Ireland. He really liked them along with that bottle of Irish whisky that accompanied them!
