No bake cookies and no bake cookie bars are some of the easiest cookies you can make. And not only are they easy to make, they are delicious.
Because I love no bake cookies and no bake cookie bars, I love coming up with new versions. I have a basic no bake cookie recipe that I turned into a bar. I have a peanut butter free no bake cookie and I have a butterscotch no bake cookie bar.
Today’s version is a fun and delicious coconut version. We love these. The dark chocolate and coconut together make for the perfect combination.
And these are great for cooking with kids. No bake cookies were one of the first cookies I learned to make and they were one of the first cookies that I taught my kids to make. I have found that kids love to make and eat these, which makes for a great cooking with kids recipe.

Is there away to cut back on the sugar
I have never tried cutting back the sugar, but I am guessing that you could cut it back a little and they would still be fine.
