Thanks a lot everybody for the anniversary wishes. I'm still not in the mood to bake/blog but my DH is constantly nagging me to start blogging regularly. So I once again went back to the Eagle brand book for a simple "no-bake" recipe.
Found a no bake cookies recipe for peanut butter drops made with peanut butter, chopped peanuts, condensed milk and quick cooking oats. I made something similar a year back and remembered that my son did not like it.
So I substituted peanuts with almonds and peanut butter and almond butter. And guess what? my son can't stop eating them. This no bake cookies take only 10-15 minutes to prepare this but it is unbelievably delicious.
Ingredients
- Butter or Margarine - ½ cup (1 stick)
- Unsweetened Cocoa - ⅓ cup
- Quick Cooking Oats - 2 and ½ cups
- Sweetened Condensed Milk - 1 can (14 oz/300 ml)
- Chopped Almonds - 1 cup
- Almond Butter - ½ cup
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.
2. Stir in cocoa powder to the melted butter.
3. Mix both cocoa powder and butter using a whisk. Bring mixture to a boil.
4. Remove from heat. Add oats.
5. Add the can of condensed milk.
6. Add the chopped almonds.
7. Add the almond butter.
8. Line 2 baking sheets with a wax paper. I sprayed a half tablespoon with non stick cooking spray, scooped out the mixture and dropped onto the baking sheets. Chill 2 hours or until set. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.
9. You can either leave it as it is or shape them into balls. After about 30 minutes in the fridge, the mixture will be in the right texture to shape it. Put it back in the refrigerator for another 2 hours or until it firms up.

Hai Madhu,
Can I know how long this cookie can last? Will it melt if I keep it outside?
Madhuram says
I'm thinking not very long. Maybe 3-5 days. It will get sticky if you store it at room temperature.
JN says
One more thing I forgot to add was that most of your recipes dont have too much sugar or butter, a fact that I love as I am always watching what I eat and make.
JN says
My second recipe from this website and this was a super hit at the cookie exchange party. It was so easy to make and as always, I love your notes for novice cooks like me. I thoroughly have started enjoying cooking because of you! Kudos and many thanks!
Madhuram says
Thanks for the great compliment, JN.

Hi: Should we be using raw or toasted almonds?
Madhuram says
Raw is fine, Nicole.
Satpal kaur says
Hi madam,what can i use instead of almond butter?
Madhuram says
You can use peanut butter.
Leela says
Hi Madhu:
In the above interesting recipe, don't we need to add sugar? would it be sweet enough?
If possible can you email me your reply too.
Thanks,
Leela
Madhuram says
Yes Leela. The sweetness from the condensed milk is good enough.

Hey MAdhu
Want to thank you for all your recipes.. You always come to my rescue when I have nothing sweet at home to serve unexpected guests and also if I am going to somebody's house and want to take some sweets.. I made these quick no bake cookies for a pizza party at my friends house and they all loved it .. Thanks to you.. All your recipes are awesome.

recipe sounds lovely but i cant find any almond butter or cracker crumbs... 😕
Do you live in UK Dee? I think most big supermarkets should be having both. But I have not mentioned cracker crumbs in this recipe. You should be able to find almond butter in the organic aisle or health food stores. For the cracker crumbs, you can get some chocolate cookies or graham crackers and powder it yourself.
InCanada says
Graham crackers are easy to find here in Ontario at walmart and most grocery stores.
I have not spotted chocolate graham crackers until now. But I did find graham cracker crumbs in Bulk Barn. I love BB.

Can I know what is almond butter or any substitute. Tq
It's just like peanut butter but made with almonds instead (just grinding almonds into a smooth paste). So you could substitute peanut butter.
