Everyone loves a good cookie, but when camping you don’t always have access to an oven, that is when no-bake cookies become a wonderful option. This version is a sweet chocolate oat mixture.
If feeling adventurous you can substitute some of the oats for rice crispies or other cereals. Add a little dried fruit or nuts for an additional twist. There is a lot of sugar but be careful not to reduce it too much as it is part of the ingredients allowing the cookie to set.
Once the no-bake cookies are made and are set, they act and taste just like normal cookies. However, don’t be tempted to leave them in the sun in a hot car otherwise they will melt again.Â
All the ingredients are heated in a saucepan before shaping into the no bake cookies.
The warm cookie mixture is spooned into a cookie shape on a baking tray to set.
The no bake cookies can be made in any shape, size, or thickness you desire.
Leave some space between the cookies to allow air to circulate and for them to cool quicker.
Only needing a gas stove and no baking these chocolate oat cookies are perfect to make in the outdoors.
