RAW CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES


I love to play with my grandchildren and that includes cooking. I had a few opportunities this summer. Here is a video of the first, while visiting with my 2 oldest grandsons. 

Harrison, as a typical teen, is always hungry and of course he loves cookies. I came up with something a bit healthier than your usual chocolate chip cookie. 

RAW CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

1 cup quick oatmeal
1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 Tablespoon Chia seeds
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips 
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix everything together till well blended. Make into little balls with your hands, spoons, or a cookie scooper thingy. If you have any left, keep refrigerated in an airtight container or plastic sealable bag.
