Mocha No Bake Cookies
These Mocha No Bake Cookies are my go-to cookies to make. This easy no bake cookies recipe has peanut butter, chocolate, oatmeal, and a pop of coffee flavor. They're so fudgy and addicted.
For these mocha no bake cookies, I added 2 teaspoons of instant coffee. It's enough to give it a little flavor, but it's not screaming coffee. You know how you add a teaspoon or two of coffee to your chocolate cake, it's like that except there's peanut butter in the mix too. It's pretty darn amazing if you ask me.
I know I've said this before, but no bake cookies are the most popular cookie in my house. I like to try to put a twist on them occasionally since I'm always making them. I had to bribe my husband to try these ones because he hates coffee. Guess what? He said, "MMMM.. NOT BAD" and came out with two more. I'm winning at life today.

Look at the fudgy cookie. The perfect shiny top too. Where's that thumbs up emoji when I need it?
When I first started making no bake cookies a long, long time ago, I didn't quite know when to start timing my two minutes of boil time. When you have a full on rolling boil all the way around the pan, start that timer. If you jump the gun, the cookies won't set up. If you are late starting the timer, you'll have dry, crumbly cookies. I want to start making videos on Facebook, maybe this will be my first one. I guess it will depend on whether I get a hot plate/electric burner this weekend.
