No-Bake Biscoff Cookies

School is back in session here so I thought it would be a good time to share this recipe which is a twist on traditional no-bake cocoa/peanut butter/oatmeal cookies.  Instead of cocoa, this recipe calls for Biscoff spread which is quickly becoming everyone's favorite. These tasty cookies are great tucked into lunchboxes or served as after school snacks.

Frozen Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls

Another no-bake cookie treat to share with you today.  They're a little different than the No Bake Cereal Cookie Balls I made last month, I prefer the look of these as they're dipped in dark chocolate - Hello!  Add  some colorful sprinkles for a fun touch, or leave them unadorned for a more elegant look.

My Tweaks (reflected below) - I doubled the vanilla, added a little shortening to the chocolate coating, and made smaller cookie balls.
