Kahlua No Bake Cookies
These Kahlua No Bake Cookies are a quick and delicious boozy dessert made with everyone’s favorite coffee liqueur, oatmeal, sugar, and pudding!
I have several recipes for no bake cookies on the blog, and Kahlua No Bake Cookies are the newest version!
These cookies are rich, indulgent, and complete with a hint of boozy goodness.
If you’re a fan of Kahlua — or you have an extra bottle lying around! — whip up a batch of these decadent goodies!
You can make no bake cookies in flavors like Chocolate, strawberry milk, Nutella, and the ever-popular, Irish cream. But this one is for the coffee lovers!
As you’ve probably guessed, Kahlua No Bake Cookies require no baking time. Mix up everything on the stovetop, then plop spoonfuls of the mixture onto wax paper and cool in the fridge.
The result is a batch of delicious cookies that are firm and fudgy but chewy and moist. You’ve probably had no bake cookies before, but a couple of things set these ones apart!
First, of course, is the Kahlua, which makes the cookies so temptingly rich with a hint of booziness.
Second is the addition of dry instant caramel pudding mix (you can use vanilla too). These ingredients make this dessert taste smooth and creamy, like your favorite Kahlua cocktail.
Pair these treats with coffee or cappuccino, and you’ll have a match made in heaven. Of course, an ice cold glass of milk does the job, too!
Or, you can go all out and enjoy a couple of cookies with an adult beverage like a Kahlua Hot Chocolate or a Cocoa Puffs White Russian for a fun throwback cocktail!
Basically, there’s no wrong occasion for Kahlua No Bake Cookies. Make them once, and you’ll probably get requests to bring them to every get-together.
Let’s just say, it’s a good thing this recipe is as easy as it is delicious.
If you still can’t get enough Kahlua in your life, be sure to try this Kahlua Chocolate Poke Cake and Kahlua Whipped Cream. Trust me, you won’t regret it!

- Remove from heat and stir in the remaining ingredients, once fully combined, plop large spoonfuls onto wax paper and let sit for about an hour to harden.

they were ok, could not taste the kahlua, and they were way too sweet. don’t know why powdered creamer was needed. I added walnuts as i like nuts in my cookies. They were crubling as I removed them from the wax paper after they were cooled. I am taking the crums, adding nuts and chocolate chips for a snack. These cookies would be good with semi-chocolate chips to cut the sweetness.
Beat recipe ever! They were so easy to put together and they set well. Nice and firm. I had to use butterscotch pudding because my store didn’t have caramel, but they still taste great, I love the Kahlua taste! Thank you for this recipe!
What powdered coffee did you use? I used folgers instant coffee and they were bitter
Oh no, Leigh. It’s powdered coffee creamer not coffee.
Great cookie. I switched it up and used Carmel coffee creamer and vanilla pudding. Think I may substitute finely ground instant coffee to get more of a coffee flavor next time.
Anxious to try…where did you find caramel pudding mix. ? I know someone else asked as well
Walmart or Amazon
Hi there…where did you find caramel pudding ..I am excited to try but have not seen caramel. 😢. Thank you.
Right at my local grocery store. If you can’t find it, you can use vanilla instead.
Is there a substitute for the coffee creamer…… maybe vanilla pudding mix?
I have only ever made them as written, but you could try adding additional pudding mix instead of coffee creamer.
