Haven't tried these yet. But during the summer when the A/C is going it seems counterproductive to heat the house with the oven. Microwaves are our friends and Crock pots and Bread makers.
Look it's got gram measurements too. Do NOT go to the website this is on. There are other yummy looking recipes there.

Mocha Chocolate Chip No Bake Cookies
Category: Healthy Cookie Recipes. http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/chocolate-covered-recipes/healthy-cookies-and-bars/

Ingredients:

2/3 cup quick oats (60g)
1/4 cup plus 3 tbsp oat flour (or make your own by blending oats in a food processor until they become powder. Measure after blending.) (60g)
2 tbsp cacao or cocoa powder (10g)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp xylitol or sugar (60g)
1 1/2 tsp instant coffee granules (I used decaf Mt. Hagen)
1/4 cup chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips
1/4 cup vegetable oil or coconut oil
2 tbsp water
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients and stir very well.

In a cup, combine liquid ingredients, then pour wet into dry and stir until incorporated fully.

Transfer to a plastic bag and smush into a ball.

Now you can roll into smaller balls or fridge until a little firmer. (Note: if you use coconut oil, these cookies will harden when chilled, but they go back to being soft if left out.) You could also bake these if you wish. For gluten-free no bake cookies: be sure to use certified-gf oats and oat flour.

EDIT: I thought (and still think) I got 26 cookies when I made these, but some of the commenters have said they’re getting only 14-16. Other commenters are indeed getting 26 cookies, so I think it’s just that some people are making bigger cookies. If your batch yields 16: there will be 80 calories, 4.5g fat, 10g carbs, and 1g each protein and fiber (with 2 ww points) per cookie.
