One of my favorite recipes of all time are my mom’s Gorilla Poops (a.k.a. No-Bake cookies). Even though the name sounds disgusting, they are absolutely divine. I know that everyone has their favorite recipe for them, but I really think that hers are the best.
Nutella No-Bake Cookies
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1 3/4 cup granulated sugar
4 Tablespoons cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup Nutella
3 cups quick cooking oats
Directions:
In a saucepan, combine butter, milk, sugar, and cocoa powder and heat over medium heat. Bring to a rolling boil and let boil for one minute. Remove your saucepan from the heat.
Add Nutella and vanilla to hot mixture and stir until combined. Add oats and stir until completely incorporated.
Drop by spoonfuls onto baking sheets lined with wax paper. Let cool (or you can eat them all warm and gooey- that’s yummy too!).
*Sometimes, this recipe turns out more runny or more dry . . . I really think that it depends on weather, altitude, and how long it boils. I would start out by adding only 2 cups of oats and if it’s runny, add a little more oats. I vary from 2 1/2 cups to 3 1/2 cups of oats each time I make these.

This looks so good! Peanut butter ones are also heavenly
Do you think i could sub in mashed bananas for butter and agave for the sugar and then increase the amount of oats? Thanks!
Hi Grace. When we have made these we have followed the recipe as directed. But let us know how it all works out with the adjustments.

Too delicious!! Can’t wait to try them.
These look awesome! I recently ordered something similar from a custom cookies company, but I’m definitely going to try this recipe at home.
I tried this over the weekend, it’s really yummy, it’s more like a truffle than a cookie
it’s too sweet for my taste though, even after using just 1 1/2c of sugar. I’ll lessen it next time. Do you think it will be as delicious and gooey if there is no nutella?
thanks!
We aren’t sure! We’ve only followed the recipe as directed. Let us know if you do some tweaking and how it all turns out! -The Six Sisters
Made these for the first time the other night and they were a HUGE hit with colleagues at work (as well as with hubby’s colleagues). My 4 year-old and 16 month-old really liked them too. So easy!
