What is one of the most nostalgic but indulgent cookies of your childhood? Perhaps it’s chocolate chip cookies. BTW, I am not going to try to make this for you because Bakerita takes the cake, er cookie on this. Okay, well how about besides chocolate chip cookies?? Did you say no-bake cookies? Because that’s my answer! They’re so chocolatey, and you can reall sink your teeth in! I mean, I also find the cookies from a tin pretty nostalgic, but I digress.
The thing about no-bakes is that they are delicious and so easy and can be enjoyed in the summer without heating up the home! But here’s the other thing about no-bakes, they are laden with allergens and aren’t always suitable for people who can’t have everything but the kitchen sink.
Enter allergy-friendly no-bake cookies!
These use a lot of alternative ingredients and are still mindful of flavor. All the indulgence of no-bakes, without the tummy troubles (or however your body may react to an allergen).
If you have other treats and recipes you’d like to see de-allergized, let me know and I’ll work that up here for you! Because food is love.
