Strangely enough, my first recipe to share is not a cake....we have plenty of time to delve into delicious ooey-gooey cake recipes and will soon enough. However, this recipe deserves to be first. These cookies are worth keeping around for a quick snack at any given moment and will keep you from snacking on pre-packaged, sugar and chemical filled alternatives!
Hint: These will not work with store bought almond butter in a jar. The oil separation will unfortunately make them fall apart. The best option for this recipe is fresh ground almond butter available in tubs at many health food stores.
