No Bake Cookies for the Holidays
Holiday cookies you can rely on for the forgotten cookie exchanges, last minute plans, or when your oven is completely occupied – but you forgot about dessert! These cookies range in prep time; some are a quick dip and dry using our classic Chocolate Chip Cookies from the Bake Shop, others throw together a few simple ingredients to create irresistibly crunchy and sweet or chocolate-covered stacks. Let your no-bake holiday adventure start here!
1. Espresso-Chocolate Dipped Cookies with Ginger
No one needs to know they’re store bought (unless you want them to). Start by picking up a pack of our Chocolate Chip Cookies in the Bake Shop. At home, whip up a three-ingredient chocolate-espresso sauce. Dip cookies, sprinkle with candied ginger and set in the fridge on a tray to set. Ready in: 20 minutes.
2. Cornflake Wreath Cookies
The same marshmallowy chew as rice cereal squares – in a festive green wreath shape! With just six ingredients, you can whip together these wreaths, and then it’s all in the finishing touches! Decorate simply with red candies, or add licorice string bows, sprinkles or icing sugar snow. Ready in: 30 minutes.
3. No-Bake Haystack Cookies
Maybe you're not a big baker, maybe you’re short on time–but with this recipe, neither matter.

Ready in: 1 hour 20.
4. Buckeye Cookies
Who says to have to bake every single cookie of the season? (Sometimes, it’s all about little tricks and easy upgrades.) In this version of the Buckeye Cookie, chocolate peanut butter balls top Compliments Peanut Butter Cookies for a doubly peanutty and dynamic duo. Ready in: 30 minutes.
