There are a lot of wonderful things about these cookies including all the health benefits. I use Cornaby’s Almond Butters (the chunk is my favorite for this recipe) which are Dietician recommended because they’re made with wonderful whole nuts and just a little bit of coconut oil. Yum. I also add a little bit of E-Z Gel to this recipe which helps to make sure I get an even set and keeps the cookies good for longer! Never a bad thing. Classic whole oats add a lot of texture and fiber to these nobake cookies. You can use an instant oat if you want them less chewy. Or, you can toast your oats in a 400 degree oven for just a couple of minutes and that adds even more depth to the nutty flavor.
Christmas is right around the corner and these are an easy way to fill in the gaps on a treat plate or serve up at a local Christmas Cookie Exchange.
