Whether you’re short on time, baking with kids, or just need a low-effort dessert for a last-minute gathering, these no-bake cookies deliver big flavor with minimal fuss. The magic happens on the stovetop, where the ingredients are melted and combined, then dropped onto wax paper to cool and set into perfect bites of indulgence. They’re a go-to treat for busy days, potlucks, lunchboxes, or simply keeping your sweet tooth happy.

Once the cookies are fully set, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to 10 days, or freeze in a single layer in a zip-top bag for up to 2 months. Let frozen cookies sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before enjoying.
