These are not the no bake cookies you grew up with.  Same great texture and flavors, but made with healthier ingredients.  There is a surprise secret ingredient that I have added to my recipe….  By removing the oats, not only is this recipe for gluten free no bake cookies, but now grain free!  You won’t even miss the oats, I promise….

These no bake cookies or “raggedy robbins” as we used to call them,  are so simple to make and will surely please any crowd!

You can also use equal parts chopped nuts or a combination of nuts and coconut flakes.  I have made several variations and all are equally delicious.  I also enjoy eating them right out of the freezer for a late night snack :P
