Raw No Bake Energy Cookies (Dairy, Grain/Gluten, Egg Free with Refined Sugar Free Option)

It has been so hot already for May.  We wanted to make a healthy treat but didn't want to turn on the oven. My oldest daughter and I decided to just create something with whatever ingredients were in the house.  These cookies they turned out really well and can be easily adapted if desired. We will be making them more often as they make a great treat to take on the go and will give you some additional energy.
