Yum, Yum, Yum

So I found this no bake cookie recipes somewhere on the internet. I didn't pin it. I didn't print it. I scribbled it on a piece of paper. I have no idea where it came from. I wrote in down because it is gluten free, egg free, refined sugar free... you get the idea. I am always looking for yummy gluten free, low sugar recipes for myself. But I also have a friend whose daughter has allergies to so many foods, so I am always looking for things this little girl can eat... and she can have these cookies! :)

I made them earlier in the week. They were gone in a day and I've made them 2 times since then. That's how good they are. I am making them again today to bring for Easter lunch at previously mentioned friend's house.

Here's the recipe:
1/3 cup honey (I use less)
1 1/2 Tbsp cocoa powder
1/3 cup coconut oil (or butter - friend's daughter is dairy free)
melt those together and stir in
1/3 cup almond butter or peanut butter (I've used both. Both are good)
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut

drop by spoonfuls on a baking sheet and refrigerate until firm.

Then come back here and tell me how much you loved them. :)
