No Bake Cookies

I'm not sure if I have mentioned it before, but I LOVE no bake cookies.  They are just the perfect combination of sweet and chewy and salty deliciousness.  I have been looking for a great recipe for several months, but I haven't been able to find one that actually makes me feel like I'm eating a cookie.  Today I decided to experiment with a No Bake Cookie recipe from the Gracious Pantry Blog.  What I came up with was super yummy.  I even ate 1/2 the batch and had a sugar high.  Just what you want from a cookie, right?

1/4 cup honey
2 tsp vanilla
1/3 c creamy natural peanut butter
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
*1 tbsp almond milk

Put the honey, vanilla, and peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl and microwave until they are easy to mix, but not boiling.  Stir in the chia seeds and oats. Add milk until you reach the desired consistency.

I do not recommend making these when you are the only one home or else you might sit down with them and watch TV and before you know it, they will be half way gone and you will be wondering who snuck into your house, knocked you unconscious and ate your cookies.  I'm pretty sure that's what just happened to me.
