Deliciously Simple No-Bake Kids' Cookies (Nut & Dairy-Free!) 

12-15 cookies Prep Time: 15 minutes Chill Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 250g (1 cup) of a nut-free butter (we used Biona Organic Pumpkin Seed Butter)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips

Optional Toppings:

  • Sprinkles (dairy-free)
  • Shredded coconut
  • Dried cranberries or raisins

Instructions:

  1. Get Mixing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the seed butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Use a sturdy spoon or a hand mixer on low speed to mix until everything is smooth and well combined.

  2. Add the Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the rolled oats and dairy-free chocolate chips. Mix until the oats are evenly coated and everything is sticking together. The mixture should be thick and easy to form into balls.

  3. Form the Cookies: Scoop up a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball with your hands. Place the ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  4. Flatten and Decorate: Use the bottom of a glass or a spatula to gently flatten each ball into a cookie shape. Now for the fun part! Let the kids go wild with the optional toppings. Press sprinkles, shredded coconut, or seeds onto the top of each cookie.

  5. Let Them Chill: Pop the baking sheet into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the cookies firm up. This is a great time to clean up and get ready for a delicious snack!

  6. Enjoy! Once the cookies are firm, they're ready to eat! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

This recipe is a fantastic way to teach kids about simple measurements and following instructions, all while creating a yummy treat they'll be proud of. Happy no-baking!
