from scratch
I’m sure everyone has a happy memory of indulging in a delicious no-bake cookie. Mmm, gooey, chocolate, peanut butter, and coconut heaven? Yep, you read that right- coconut!
Fueling your body with wholesome joy does not mean that treats such as no-bake cookies have to remain locked away in the past. I often even find the wholesome tweaks result in something that far exceeds the original.
When you have a hankering for some good ol’ childhood delights, where there’s a will, there’s a way. And it just so happens that I love to find a way. Let’s get to those cookies!

1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
½ cup coconut oil

½ cup coconut sugar
1/3 cup cocoa
1 tsp vanilla
Sea salt to taste
Notes
*Try substituting for your favorite nut or seed butter. I personally recommended cashew butter!
Instructions
1. Line a cookie sheet with waxed or parchment paper; set aside.
2. Combine coconut oil, peanut butter, coconut sugar, and salt in a saucepan and heat, stirring continuously until melted and well combined.
