These taste just like the no-bake cookies you remember with the addition of flax seeds bumping up their nutritious factor!
Sometimes, I just don't want to turn on my oven.
I mean, it may be cold outside but the thought of turning the oven on makes me hot. Especially if you're in the kitchen all day.
Or maybe you're making lots of different cookies and just don't have any more room for another batch in that tiny oven made in 1972...
Chocolate No Bake Cookies to the rescue!
I love these because they taste just like the ones made from the recipe on the side of the cocoa powder box that I used to make in high school & college. People get so excited about these things.
Also, you don't have to coat them in powdered sugar.
It just helps them look more Christmasy, if you will, since they are "snowballs"
