Well I made another batch. Just as they were going into the oven, I asked myself: Why exactly am I baking these? No eggs? 🤔 And the Nobake Useful Cookies were born!

We like them as much as the baked version. They’re denser, chewier, go so well with some milk as quick breakfast or the perfect little workout snack. Instant energy 💥
