NO-BAKE, NO-STICKY-FINGERS BREAKFAST COOKIES

No-bake cookies are a terrific on-the-go breakfast, sort of like granola bars with an even bigger flavor punch. But, frankly, no-bake cookies are a mess waiting to happen. Sure, they’re soft and luxurious—which means they’re murder on work clothes, with your sticky fingers ready to ruin your pants or skirt.

We’ve solved that by making them in muffin tins. Grab one or two paper-wrapped cookies and head out the door. Fold the paper down and use it to hold the cookie. Or fold it shut and store the cookie in your satchel for breakfast at your desk, once you’ve got coffee in hand.

As a bonus, the muffin tins are easy to store in the fridge. And the cookies won’t break or bend during storage. Cover the tins with plastic wrap so the cookies won’t dry out.

Of course, once the cookies are “set” by the chill, you can remove them from the tin and stack them in a sealable container to take up less space in the fridge. Leave them in their paper muffin cups to keep them from sticking together.

And one note: These do require a fairly large set of ingredients, some of which you’ll only find at a very large supermarket or health-food store. However, these can become pantry staples since you’ll want to make these breakfast cookies again and again.
