Fudgy Mint Chocolate No-Bake Cookies

Indulgent no-bake cookies that combine rich chocolate flavor with a refreshing peppermint twist, featuring a fudgy texture and a gentle snap from chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and butter in a medium saucepan. Stir gently until the dry ingredients are evenly moistened.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a boil. Keep stirring so the sugar does not scorch.
  3. Once it reaches a boil, let it boil for 1 minute, then remove the pan from the heat.
  4. Stir in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract. If using shredded coconut, add it now and fold until evenly distributed.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them a couple of inches apart.
  6. Refrigerate the tray for about 30 minutes until the cookies are set and firm to the touch.
  7. Enjoy your cookies chilled or at cool room temperature for the best fudgy texture.

Notes

For optimal texture, store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.
