Almond Cookies (Paleo)

If you love peanut butter cookies, then these cookies are for you! I found this recipe from Tasteslovely.com and it’s so easy to make!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond butter
• 1 cup coconut sugar
• 1 large egg, room temp
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees & line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine all ingredients in a medium size bowl. I use my food processor, but you can mix it by hand.
• Dough will be very sticky, but scoop out 1-2 TBS of cookie size balls. Place balls onto your lined cookie sheet.
• Take a fork (or use your fingers) and lightly press into each ball to slightly flatten it out. It helps to spray the fork with non-stick oil or use very hot water to clean the fork off in-between each cookie.
• Bake for 9-10 minutes.
• Store up to 1 week in an airtight container or store in the freezer like I do!

Tips:

• If dough is too sticky to form into balls, place in fridge for 30-60 minutes.
• If dough is too crumbly, add in one more egg white (no yolk).
• Don’t over bake these. They are better on the chewier side.

JUST EAT REAL FOOD – Stop focusing on calories & focus on what you’re eating and how it makes you feel. Your body is always giving you signals, but many times we ignore them. Pay attention if you develop nausea, gas, bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, headaches, joint pain, rashes, sinus problems, or cold sores. If you develop any of these things after eating, it’s a good indicator that your body is giving you a clue to stop consuming something in your food. Many times these symptoms come from consuming chemicals, artificial coloring, and preservatives. Other times these symptoms can occur from a food allergy or sensitivity. Pay attention. Creating a food diary is a really great way to help you figure out what your triggers are. Food elimination diets such as AIP, Paleo or Low FODMAP are also great resources.
