How do I store these no-bake cookies?

They will last in the refrigerator for up to a week and in the freezer for 3-6 months. It is best to store them in an air-tight container for maximum freshness.

What's the perfect combo of ingredients for these no bake cookies?

My personal go-to cookie mix is simple--peanut butter, honey, quick oats, flax, mini chocolate chips, and shredded coconut. That's the perfect combo in my opinion but feel free to experiment!

Instructions

Make It Now:

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter and honey until smooth. (Tip: You may want to warm them in the microwave first to make this step easier.)
Stir in oats and flaxseed. Add the chocolate chips and your 1 cup of preferred add-ins. Stir until well combined.
Using wet hands or a wet cookie scoop, shape the mixture into 30-35 balls. Use a heaping tablespoon of mixture per cookie. Store in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer using the directions below.

Freeze For Later: Follow Steps 1-3. Place the rolled cookies on a sheet pan (line with parchment paper for easier clean up). Place in the freezer for an hour or so, until hardened. Place them into a freezer bag or airtight freezer container for up to 3 months.

Prepare From Frozen: Either set cookies out on the counter to thaw slightly or warm in the microwave for about 15 seconds.

Notes/Tips

My personal go-to cookie mix is simple–peanut butter, honey, quick oats, flax, mini chocolate chips, and shredded coconut. That’s the perfect combo in my opinion but feel free to experiment!
Crunchy peanut butter is yummy also!
I often cut the honey back to 3/4 cup and make up the 1/4 cup with more nut butter
