Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
3 tablespoons water
2/3 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter*
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¼ cup granulated sugar

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flaxseed meal and water. Let sit 10 minutes (this creates a flax "egg"). In a separate, medium bowl, whisk the brown sugar, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until smoothly combined.
  • Add the peanut butter, vanilla, and flax egg. Whisk again until the dough is smooth and the peanut butter has completely blended into the batter. As the batter thickens, switch to a rubber spatula or spoon as needed. Place the dough in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Shape and roll the cookies: Place the sugar in a shallow bowl (a pie plate works well). Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Scoop the cookies by heaping 1 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls that are about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Roll in the sugar, then place on the baking sheet, leaving 1 to 2 inches of space around each one. With the tines of a fork, make a crisscross indent on each, leaving the cookies fairly thick. (Return the remaining dough to the refrigerator between batches.)
  • Bake until the cookies are barely golden at the edges but still just a little underdone in the center, about 8 minutes. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then gently transfer to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling. Repeat with the remaining dough.

This is a healthy take on the traditional no bake cookies. So good and good for you! I am always asked for this recipe every time I make them. They are a hit with the kids and the adults, and always go quick! I store them in the freezer because I think they taste best frozen, but not necessary.

PEANUT BUTTER NO-BAKE COOKIES WITH OATS AND FLAXSEEDS

Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Yield about 20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/3 cup golden raisins
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
2 tablespoons flaxseeds, wheat germ or chia seeds

Steps:

  • Combine the honey, coconut oil, cocoa powder and salt in a medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the coconut oil is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and warm, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the peanut butter and stir until completely melted, another 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the oats. Cover with a lid for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and stir in the raisins, 1/3 cup of the coconut and the flaxseeds, wheat germ or chia seeds.
  • Use a round tablespoon to scoop, then level, the mixture. Sprinkle with some of the remaining coconut and press lightly onto the cookie. Use a small offset spatula to gently coax the cookie onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, coconut-side down. The mixture will be a little delicate and sticky at this point. Lightly flatten the cookie with the spatula or your fingers. Repeat this process with the remaining cookie mixture, to make about 20 cookies total.
  • Refrigerate the cookies on the baking sheet until they are completely chilled, at least 30 minutes. These cookies are best served very chilled.
