These cookies were a favorite growing up! Here’s a healthier version, with just a few little tweaks.

7 Tbsp raw honey
8 Tbsp butter*
2/3 c peanut butter (or almond butter)
½ c unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ tsp vanilla
Dash salt
3 c rolled old-fashioned oats

– Melt honey, butter (coconut oil) together in double boiler over medium heat.
– Remove from heat and stir in cocoa, peanut butter, salt and vanilla until smooth.
– Stir in oats.
– Line cookie sheets with waxed or parchment paper and drop by spoonfuls into cookies.
– Chill or freeze until set.
Makes about 21

*use all coconut oil for Dairy Free or a mix of both for variety, but be sure to keep well-chilled or frozen to keep cookies from “melting.”
