The chewy cookie that you can customize with just about anything.
Once I get a recipe down, I love to dress it up. I love the contrast of something crunchy when you sink your teeth into a chewy cookie. These cookies are good for you and will fill you up. They are packed with almond butter and grain-free flours to create a dense cookie that is still plenty moist.
I topped these off with chocolate covered baruka nuts. I recently learned about these nuts after watching the Netflix series, Down To Earth. They have a very high protein content and contain all the essential amino acids. They are also packed with fiber and are a great source of antioxidants. The flavor profile is similar to that of a peanut. Think mini Reeses on top of your cookies... I think you have the idea!
