Searching for the perfect summer treat? You've found it! Nearly everyone loves cookies. They're the ideal portion size, and delicious and easy to take on the go. If you see someone in need of a pick me up, hand them a cookie, and you're sure to put a smile on their face! Their only flaw? Most cookies need to be baked.

These healthy, no-bake cookies are made with our Regular Rolled Oats and flavored with vanilla, tahini and honey. They are so easy to make, that even the kids can help!
