This recipe for easy no-bake penuche drop cookies is a nice alternative to the chocolate no-bake cookies.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup pecans (finely chopped)
  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cups light brown sugar
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1/2 cup milk, evaporated milk, or half and half

Steps to Make It

  1. Gather the ingredients.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped pecans, oats, and vanilla.

  3. Combine brown sugar, butter, and milk in a saucepan and bring to a full boil. Boil for 1 full minute. Immediately pour over the oat mixture and stir to blend thoroughly.

  4. Drop by teaspoonfuls on wax paper to cool completely. The cookies will set as they cool but will remain slightly soft.
