A great alternative to baking cookies outdoors is to make no-bake ones. Most no-bake cookies I’ve tried start with another kind of cookie as a base, something like crushed oreos or vanilla wafers. Then there’s something to add moisture (anything from cream cheese to peanut butter to booze) so that you can re-form the crushed cookies into new cookies. You can add in nuts or flavorings, or cover them in chocolate. The options are endless.

In the spirit of the holidays, we thought we’d introduce our favorite no-bake cookie. We call them Dirtballs, of course! If you’re camping with kids, make them put these together. They’ll love to get their hands dirty. And if you are camping for Christmas, you can still make Christmas cookies without the oven.
