"These TRULY are healthy but OH so yummy!! And you can up the health factor by increasing healthy ingredients (like flax seeds) and decreasing the honey and dried fruit to taste."

directions

1. Melt your honey, coconut oil and peanut butter together.
2. Stir in the vanilla, salt, cocoa powder and oats (either old fashioned or quick-cooking is fine.).
3. Add remaining ingredients. I typically use ground flax seeds and a generous amount of chopped dried cherries. The rest of the ingredients are options!
4. Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Use a small scoop and shape your cookies close together on the wax paper.
5. Chill at least 30 minutes.
6. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator and serve cold.
7. I usually make a double batch. they keep a LONG time in a sealed box in the fridge. Separate layers with wax paper. Enjoy!
