These no-bake cookies combine the warm aromas of bourbon and vanilla with chewy oats and rich chocolate for an easy, crowd-pleasing treat that sets quickly without an oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 3/4 cups (350g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk (or dairy-free milk)
  • 1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) bourbon whiskey
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature (or flax eggs for vegan option)
  • 3 cups (270g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dairy-free chips)
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.5g) salt

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and have all ingredients measured and ready.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add sugar and milk, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to a rolling boil.
  3. Boil the mixture steadily for exactly 1 minute, stirring gently to prevent burning. If using a candy thermometer, aim for about 235°F (113°C).
  4. Remove from heat and quickly whisk in cocoa powder, bourbon, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  5. Beat eggs in a small bowl. Slowly add a few spoonfuls of the hot chocolate mixture to temper the eggs, then whisk the egg mixture back into the saucepan. Stir continuously over low heat for about 2 minutes until thickened and shiny.
  6. Remove from heat and fold in oats, chocolate chips, and salt until evenly coated.
  7. Drop cookie-sized mounds onto the prepared baking sheet using two spoons or a small ice cream scoop. Wet your spoon between scoops to prevent sticking.
  8. Allow cookies to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to set. Alternatively, refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to speed up setting.

Notes

Watch the one-minute boil carefully to ensure cookies set properly. Temper eggs slowly to avoid scrambling. Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best chewy texture. Wet spoons when scooping to prevent sticking. Cookies set best at room temperature but can be refrigerated to speed up.
