Powerball Cookies
Powerball Cookies are a healthy, real-food, no bake snack cookie. Careful, it's hard to stop at just one!
Servings: 30 -35 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter sub: almond butter or sunbutter
- 1 cup honey you can cut this back a bit, if you'd like
- 3 cups quick or old-fashioned oats I prefer quick
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or 3/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup any combination of these add-ins: unsweetened shredded coconut chopped nuts (i.e. chopped pecans, sliced almonds, etc), chia seeds, soft dried fruits (i.e. raisins, dried cranberries, etc)
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
- 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
