Set the Cookies (Choose Your Method)
Option 1: No-Bake Energy Cookies
Place the tray in the refrigerator and chill for 1–2 hours, or until the cookies are firm and set. This option keeps nutrients intact and creates a chewy, snack-bar-style texture.
Option 2: Lightly Baked Cookies
Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F).
Bake cookies for 12–15 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant. Let cool completely before removing — they firm up as they cool.
