Do you love cookies but hate heating up the house? It was about 90 degrees here last week and ever time I wanted to cook something I cringed at the though of heating up the house. I did it anyway because I’m a die-hard baking fanatic, but that’s not the point here.
The point here is that I didn’t have to heat up the house to make these delicious little AIP no bake cookies! I thought about cooking the honey-carob mixture on the stove, but who’s got time for that? Not me. So I just stirred everything together and made cookies. Boom.
Now I don’t like carob, and I feel like anything made with carob tends to percolate the dish and ruin everything with it’s carob-y-ness. (And yes that is a word – because I said so) Not so with these AIP no bake cookies! The carob adds a nice flavor without being overpowering, and the finished cookie is sweet and coconutty and slightly chewy. Mmmmm…

Hi Heather,
These cookies sound great and I love the idea of no bake. I will definitely being trying these. thank for sharing. Twitted & pinned.
Can you recommend any substitutions for the squash flour? I have tapioca, cassava, coconut, arrowroot, and water chestnut. Not really wanting to buy another flour right now but I want to make these! Thanks 🙂
Any of those except the coconut flour would probably work. Start with a tablespoon and work up until you get a batter that holds together.
I have never used squash flour before; actually I did not even know they made such a thing! I will have to check that out!
And these look delicious by the way; I love no bake cookies!
