No Bake Cookie Butter Oatmeal Cookies (Wreath Cookies)
Equipment
- bowl
- Refrigerator
- cookie sheet
Ingredients
- 3 ⅔ cups rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 pouches DOLE Fruitocracy Apple Banana 3.2 oz, as a milk substitute
- 2 cups light brown sugar 12/3 of honey can be used instead
- ½ stick unsalted butter or ¼ cup, or ¼ cup virgin coconut oil
- 1 cup cookie butter (or peanut butter, or cashew butter)
- 2 cups bright white candy melts or white chocolate chips
- ½ cup fine chopped pistachios
- ⅓ cup fine chopped dried cranberries
Instructions
- In a large heat-proof bowl, combine the oats, coconut flakes, and vanilla together. Set aside.
- In a medium sauce pan, stir together Dole Fruitocracy, sugar, and butter or coconut oil. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Make sure to full boil for ONE minute.
- Immediately pour over the oatmeal mixture and stir thoroughly and rapidly. Stir in the cookie butter or peanut butter very well, until obtaining a homogeneous mixture. Make sure that mixture is of a consistency to be able to cling on to your finger when held upside down for at least a couple of seconds; otherwise, stir in a bit more oats. Let cool just enough to handle.
- Spoon cookie size scoops (about one tablespoon), roll into balls, place onto waxed paper, flatten with the palm of your hand, and then using the stick of a wooden spoon make a hole in the center of each cookie. Remold the outside of each cookie with your fingers to form a round wreath. Refrigerate and let set until firm, about 20-30 minutes.
- About 2-3 minutes before removing the cookies from the fridge, melt the candy melts or white chocolate until smooth and spread on top of each cookie using the back of a teaspoon. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios and dried cranberries on top and let set. Enjoy!
