This winning recipe was passed to me by my lovely friend, Dana. Try substituting any of your own favorite nuts or dried fruits to your taste. A new favorite at the cabin, these tasty no-bake cookies are easy to pack along with you on long hikes or bike rides and are a great source of protein. This is also a fun ‘hands-on’ recipe to make with small children.

Power Ball Cookies 

1 cup toasted sunflower seeds

1 cup toasted sesame seeds

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup chocolate chips

1 cup dried cranberries

1 cup raisons

½ cup cocoa

2 cups peanut butter

½ cup honey

1 ½ cups coconut

Warm the peanut butter. Mix all ingredients together except for the coconut. Roll into 1-inch balls and roll in coconut. (Refrigerate the mixture for half and hour of it’s too sticky to roll.) Store in refrigerator or freezer. Enjoy!
