Chocolate No-Bake Cookies
(Egg free, gluten free, dairy free, nut free options. Naturally sweetened.)
This is my healthier version of an old childhood favourite. I remember scraping the hot cookies off the trays with a spoon as a kid, because I couldn’t wait for them to cool and set – yum!
The orginal recipe contained 2 cups of sugar (eek!!), so a few years ago I made up this version using honey or rice malt syrup. My kids love them even more than cooked bikkies as they’re so moist and chocolatey. I love them because they’re so quick and easy. They’re great for when you don’t want to turn the oven on but really want cookies.
Note: You can find fine sea salt, vanilla powder and dutch cocoa powder for this recipe in my online store!

Hi Joe,
Is it possible to substitute the honey/rice malt syrup for dates?
I there a general rule to follow, when doing so? Eg: One date (or …g dates) is roughly equivalent to …g honey?
Thanks
Sadly a few days ago I found out that I am gluten intolerant, so all of my favourite recipes need to be changed and improved to my condition.
Happily I am able to find all of these amazing gluten free recipes and this one seems like a perfect place to start.
