Gluten-Free Dairy-Free No Bake Cookies

Every Wednesday I get to go hang out with my sister-in-law and niece and we play, craft, watch our favorite shows and basically do anything fun we think of doing!  Last week we decided to make cookies.  My sister-in-law has Celiac’s disease so she cannot have Gluten.  I am lactose intolerant and cannot have dairy.  And we are both lazy so they had to be no-bake. ;-)  I thought it would be fun to document the process and share the recipe with you all!

We took a gluten-free no bake cookie recipe and made it dairy-free!

Ingredients: 

 2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
dash of salt
1/2 cup dairy free butter (we used Earth Balance)
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups gluten free oats

Step 1: Gather all your ingredients.  Don’t forget to make fun drawings with your oats.

Step 2: Combine first 5 ingredients on your list!

Step 3: Bring to a boil and continue to cook over a gentle boil for 90 seconds.

Step 4:  Remove from heat.  Add the peanut butter and stir it in!

Step 5:  Add oats and vanilla and stir thoroughly.

Step 6:  Have your baby do a taste test (make sure its not too hot!)

Step 7: Get your cookie sheets out and put rounded tablespoons (or whatever size you want!) onto the cookie sheet!

Step 8: Put your cookies in the fridge to set and try to wait 30 minutes.

Step 9: Don’t forget to get the thankful smooches from your baby!

Step 10: Eat cookies!!!
