Chris says: This recipe is easy to make and the results are really tasty! You can store any uneaten cookies in an airtight container or in the refrigerator, where they'll keep for several days without any problems.

You can use a blender to mix the ingredients together if you have one. Otherwise, a large mixing bowl and wooden spoon will do the job just as well.
