These Irish Cream No Bake Cookies are a boozy twist on the classic no bake cookie recipe! Perfect for St. Patrick’s Day!
Irish Cream No Bake Cookies
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!

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.
Michele says
How long will these keep? Should they be stored in the refrigerator?
Rebecca Hubbell says
Hi Michele, they should keep for about a week in a ziploc bag on the counter. You can put them in the fridge if your house is really hot right now, but it’s not necessary.
Sharon Mays says
I followed the recipe to a T and my cookies are extremely dry and crumbly from the get go. Yours have a sheen to them and are clearly moist ehen you scoop them to the paper. Mine are not even coming together at all or barely at best. I cooked at a rolling boil for 90 sec exactly. Any ideas what went wrong?
Rebecca Hubbell says
Hi Sharon, Dry and crumbly usually means overcooking. It’s possible that even though you only cooked for 90 seconds that your stove cooks on the hotter side of things. When you make no bake cookies in the future, I would only cook for 60 seconds and see if that helps.
Christine Rosa says
Sorry, these were way too sweet and felt like they were missing something. I followed the recipe exactly, using the creamer and the white chocolate pudding and the full cup of Bailey’s Irish Cream. They were not good. I drizzled dark chocolate over them to try to balance out the sweetness and they still didn’t taste good. I feel like they might have needed salt? There was just something missing to balance the sweetness.
Rebecca Hubbell says
Hi Christine, sorry you didn’t enjoy the recipe. But no bake cookies ARE sweet, there’s 2 cups of sugar in the recipe.
