Simple, chocolatey cookies you don't have to turn the oven on for — that's the promise you get with these SunButter No Bake Cookies!

How to make no bake cookies
No bake cookies were a tradition in my home — anytime my mom wanted a quick fix for a chocolate craving, she's whip up a batch, hand my sister and me each a spoon, and we'd split the pot together.
They're perfect for cravings like that because you don't have to bake them — everything's done right on the stovetop! And better yet? You've only got to cook the syrup that holds these cookies together for 3 minutes.
Three minutes of cook time? That's shorter than most YouTube videos. Holla!
To make these SunButter no bake cookies, you'll combine everything but the oats/coconut and SunButter in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil for 3 minutes, then stir in the Sunbutter until smooth. Add the oats or coconut flakes, and either dive in or use a spoon to make little dollops of the mixture that will harden into cookies.
Simple as that!
Gluten free or paleo — you choose
Traditionally, we always made no bake cookies with oats. If that's your jam, you can totally go that route!
For a paleo version, though (without grains), I used unsweetened coconut flakes and it works beautifully.
I did make this recipe both ways, for the pictures and to make sure it all works as I remember. You can't go wrong either way!
Save on SunButter!
You just can't appreciate the full deliciousness of this recipe without some good sunflower seed butter on hand. You want the smoothest stuff possible, which is why you're going to want SunButter on hand.
After all, this is THE brand to choose for all your nut free, peanut butter alternative creations.
