The no-bake cookie became popular in the United States during the mid-20th century, primarily in the 1950s and 1960s. This coincided with the post-World War II era when convenient, quick-to-make recipes were gaining popularity among American homemakers.
Several factors contributed to the rise of no-bake cookies:
The growth of home refrigeration made chilled desserts more practical.
The popularity of processed ingredients like instant oats and peanut butter.
The increasing availability of chocolate in various forms.
A cultural shift toward time-saving recipes and convenience foods.
No-bake cookies (sometimes called "boiled cookies" or "stove-top cookies") were particularly popular because they allowed people to make sweet treats without using an oven during hot summer months. They were also frequently featured in community cookbooks, women's magazines, and on the backs of ingredient packages.
While variations of no-bake confections existed earlier, the classic chocolate-oatmeal no-bake cookie that most Americans would recognize today became a household staple during this mid-century period.
