How do you make valentine's day no bake cookies?
Valentine's Day no-bake cookies are made with a boiled sugar base mixed with white chocolate, strawberry extract, and pink food coloring, then combined with oats and topped with heart sprinkles before setting.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Whole milk
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup White chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Strawberry extract
- 2-3 drops Pink gel food coloring
- 1/4 cup Heart-shaped sprinkles
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and have sprinkles ready nearby.
- 2
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, milk, and butter over medium heat, stirring until butter melts.
- 3
Bring to a full rolling boil and boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Tip: Use a timer for precision — 1 minute at a full boil is the key to cookies that set properly.
- 4
Remove from heat and stir in white chocolate chips until completely melted and smooth.
- 5
Stir in peanut butter, strawberry extract, salt, and pink food coloring until evenly combined.
- 6
Add oats and stir until all oats are fully coated in the pink mixture.
- 7
Drop heaped tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet. Immediately top each cookie with heart sprinkles before they set.
- 8
Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 15 minutes until fully set.
Tips & Substitutions
- Add sprinkles immediately after dropping cookies — they won't stick once the surface sets.
- Gel food coloring gives a more vibrant pink than liquid food coloring.
- Use freeze-dried strawberries (crushed) for natural color and intense flavor.
- Package in clear treat bags tied with red ribbon for a beautiful homemade gift.
