Cooooookies... Chocolate cookies.. I feel like the cookie monster! Oh yeah, Happy New Month! Its September people! I don't know why I am so excited but this is the mood I want to start with hoping it is infectious until the end of the month. So new month, new recipes. My theme for last month that featured avocado recipes sort of brought back all the cooking juices that had somehow evaporated into the daily life of this daily grind that we call life. Still my need to be in the kitchen overrides every emotion I might have been having before. And what better way to start the new month than with chocolate, chocolate cookies to be precise. Add coconut, honey, butter, vanilla and you have foodie garsms right there! So let's get into the chocolatey goodness of it all

Melt until the butter has melted and well incorporated into the honey
Stir in the vanilla essence

Start mixing up all the ingredients
Mix well, add more coconut if mixture seems too wet
You need to have a soft but firm mixture once everything has combined well
Use an ice cream scoop to form same sized balls
Use your fingers to flatten the top so that they form round cookie shapes. Set on a baking tray and refrigerate in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to firm up

No bake cookies are best for when you do not have an oven but still want to satisfy your chocolate cookie cravings. Even if you have an oven you might want a simple way to create cookies that are not only delicious but are healthy with natural sweetener from the honey and coconut
These no bake chocolate cookies remain chewy on all through. Grab a few for before lunch snacking at the office and you're good to go
