Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter

- Pour cooking oats into the sauce pot. Stir until oats are thoroughly covered.
- Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie scooper, scoop no bake chocolate oatmeal cookies and place onto a baking sheet. If you kitchen is warm or particularly humid, allow the cookies to set in the refrigerator.
- Chill for 1-2 hours. Enjoy!
Notes
Once the cookies have solidified, you can store them in an airtight container on the counter for 5-7 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. They can also be frozen in a sealed baggie for up to 3 months.
If your cookies aren't setting, it's because the butter hasn't melted completely and the sugar hasn't dissolved. Follow the recipe instructions exactly to avoid this!
You can substitute refined coconut oil for butter and/or nut milk for chocolate milk to make these cookies dairy-free.
