Description

These decadent little no-bake cookies are impossible to resist! Thank goodness they are a healthier version of the classic.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Natural Peanut Or Almond Butter
  • ½ cups Coconut Oil
  • ½ cups Honey
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Bittersweet Chocolate Chips
  • 2-½ cups Quick-cooking Or Old-fashioned Oats
  • 3 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
  • 1 cup Coarsely Chopped Almonds (toasted Is Optional But Awesome)

Preparation

In a medium saucepan, melt peanut or almond butter and coconut oil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. Off heat, stir in honey and vanilla until combined.

Immediately stir in chocolate chips until melted (if mixture is too cool to melt them completely, return saucepan to low heat to help it along without bringing it to a simmer).

Add oats, cocoa powder and almonds and stir until well-combined. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate until set.

The cookies will keep in a Tupperware-type container (layered between sheets of wax paper or parchment) in the refrigerator for a week or more.

Recipe adapted from a recipe my Aunt Jeanette sent to me by way of my cousin, Mel Y, who is famous for these cookies among our family.
