No bake COOKIES!

by

Hello MizFit Readers! This is Monica from Run Eat Repeat. I run, then I eat and then I blog about it. I know, you never would have guessed if I didn’t explain it Winking smile

Anyway. MizFit put out a call for no bake recipes because her oven is broken or something. And because I live in SoCal I am big on no bake recipes.

I mean the weather is great, but sometimes you do not want to make your kitchen any warmer than it already is.

Directions: Mix all ingredients except almond meal. Tip: try not to eat the ‘batter’ as we’re trying to make cookies.IMAG1563 (800x450)

Drop a spoon full of batter into your hand and form a ball. Smash down on wax paper to form proper cookie shape.

Optional: Dip cookie into almond meal to make it less sticky. I keep mine in the freezer so this is not usually an problem.IMAG1568 (800x450)

Place into freezer for 2 hours or until set. Store in fridge. Eat.

  1. I laughed at the picture of you lying down and I am so jealous of your fab weather. Must be nice to run where it is not raining all the time like here.

  13. They’re not the most beautiful but it is very easy to do. This is a great recipe if you don’t have time to bake and your kids insist that you make cookies. Thanks for this!

  20. Love this idea and I’m far from a domestic goddess, so they’re perfect for me.

    The only thing is I’m coeliac (celiac to US readers) and here in Oz the Coeliac Society recommends those allergic to gluten don’t eat oats (I know it’s hotly debated though).

  21. Hi Monica,

    I also visit your site often. I enjoyed reading every post. Anyway, I always love your recipe. It’s nice to read your article here. 🙂

  23. Y’know, I was just in the supermarket the other day and saw a package of no-bakes. I couldn’t believe it, 160 calories a pop! These look a lot healthier (and less processed, obviously), and I can’t wait to give them a go! Thanks for taking care of my sweet tooth 🙂

  25. I do have a great recipe for no bake cookies, but this one looks very easy to make. Will have to try it this weekend, because I’m out of cookies. Thanks for the post.

  28. I guess the name of should be “sleep, eat and repeat”. Anyways I tried your recipe, although it was something new for me but I really like it. I like high calorie food due to my skinny body and prefer eating food which is full of nourishment.

  29. These look great and I love chocolate. No bake is the way to go. By the way, you have a great blog over there at run eat repeat.

  30. Whoa!! You just made me scared with the first picture!! haha. But yeah, those cookies are really delis!!

  31. Oh, how you have my mouth watering! I could eat these morning, noon and night! Thanks for the recipe – I’m making some today.

  32. Those cookies look Great and tasty! It will be difficult not to eat the whole batter mix i made before putting it in the freezer. 🙂

  33. Those cookies look delicious! I think I would struggle not to eat the whole batter before freezing them. 🙂

  34. No-bake cookies, yeah! This is one less step and a time saver. I especially like the idea of keeping them in the freezer to doll out slowly during the upcoming summer months.

  35. Don’t know why, but I like cookies and prefer eating before my workout. Although, I can consume the energy to keep myself slim and smart, but can’t stop myself from eating cookies.

  36. Oooh.. those choc cookies look SO delicious… almond meal is awesome for coating & also for thickening (I modified a recipe for chocolate rum balls to use almond meal instead of crushed cookie crumbs, & it worked pretty well). I’ll be trying these tomorrow!

  38. I’ll have to try that. I have never heard of “no bake” cookies. My wife is always baking cookies for the kids and you can always tell….(apart from the cookie aroma)…. because she sometimes leaves the oven on. Not good during summer.
