How many carbs do you have in No-Bake Chocolate Cookies?

How to Make No-Bake Chocolate Cookies

Start making no-bake chocolate cookies by making a cookie crumb crust. Place small biscuits in a small blender and pulse until broken down into crumbs.

Place the cookie crumbs in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the milk, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and cocoa powder. Add the melted butter, one tablespoon at a time, mixing well between each addition.

Spread a sheet of plastic wrap on the counter and place the cookie dough on top of the plastic wrap. Shape the cookie dough into a log shape and wrap the plastic closed, pressing down to seal. Place the log in the fridge for 2 hours.

Slice the cookie dough log into 1-inch pieces.

Melt milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and dip each chocolate cookie into the melted chocolate. Place on a cutting board and sprinkle the top with crushed pistachios while the chocolate is still wet.

Serve and enjoy!
