My daughter’s school potluck is around the corner and I have a very small window after work and before dinner time prep to make a Gluten free, Peanut free, dairy free item to bring to the event.

I found these no bake cookies in a vegan cookbook that I modified with what was in the house.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of earth balance or regular butter (1 stick)

1/2 cup sun nut butter

1 cup of sugar

4 Tb unsweetened cocoa

1/2 cup of “milk”

1 tsp vanilla

3 cups of oats (gf)

1 cup of shredded coconut

1 cup chopped walnuts

Mix the butter, sugar, cocoa, milk, sun nut butter and vanilla in a medium saucepan over medium low heat until dissolved.

In a separate bowl mix oats, coconut and walnuts.

Pour liquid mixture over dry mixture and combine well.

Roll out balls with hands or spoon and then flatten on to cookie sheet with wax paper/ parchment paper or use cupcake molds.

Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

Makes a lot of little cookies or fewer big ones.
