-bake drop cookies recipes

I recently came across another way to use up some of those cartons of oats and bags of bran spilling out of my pantry. Brandi of Bran Appetit posted an intriguing recipe for Brandi's Cookie Bars. I used her recipe with a few changes to make cookie bars of my own. Please visit Brandi's blog for the original recipe. And if you're a fan of oatmeal cookies and chocolate, make these now!

These addictively delicious cookie balls are made with oats, creamy peanut butter, cocoa powder, coconut flakes and honey. Unlike those store-bought unhealthy cousins, these cookie balls not only taste great, but also good for you.

I made these bars with blackberry preserves instead. I made a simple glaze and drizzled it over the bars once they cooled completely.
