These healthy no bake cookies come together quickly and are sure to be a hit!

Growing up, my mom would frequently make no bake cookies. I always loved watching her make them and asked to scrape the pot clean when she was done. As I got older, my brother and I started making them ourselves. The original recipe contains a whole cup of sugar, so I wanted to create a healthier version I could happily give my kids any time. I cut the amount of sugar in half and replaced it with a mix of coconut sugar and honey. I also prefer sprouted rolled oats because they are more easily digested.

These little cookies make a great snack (and maybe even breakfast). I like to double the batch and put half in the freezer for when I want something sweet. These cookies are soft and need to be stored in the refrigerator, and I actually prefer them cold, too.
