In the Midwest, the holidays are a generous time. We leave all the tricks behind in October, and the winter months are filled with treats, treats and more treats. Afterall, what better way to spend a frigid winter night than baking up all the family cookie recipes? We tuck them into cheerful bags and tins and bring them with us to the neighbor’s, the potluck and the church coffee — and then we bring all the cookies our neighbors give us to work because, oh my goodness, who can eat all those sweets?

These Superfood Treats will make an amazing addition to your cookie rotation. First of all, they’re no-bake, so you can get them rolled out while the thumbprints and whatnot are in the oven. Second, they’re pretty darn healthy, so you can feel great about eating them — and sharing them. And most importantly, they’re scrumptious: this is the treat your friends and family will take to work because it’s the sweet little bite of energy they crave in the afternoon.

Basically, we whirl together Medjool dates and honey to create a sticky-sweet binder, and then add in all the goodies: seeds, oats, pistachios, white chocolate and dried cranberries. All of that gets rolled in a ball and drizzled with chocolate — they look beautiful, and they taste like a decadently chewy, white chocolate-forward granola bar. Go ahead and eat three, they’re packed with superfoods.
