I initially posted this recipe waaaay back in 2013, and I finally gave it a (much overdue) facelift this week. The original photos were taken on an old iPhone, before I had a DSLR camera, and posted to my tumblr blog – oh how times have changed!

This used to be my go-to cookie recipe, and honestly I am not sure why it fell to the wayside, because it is so darn delicious! I especially love that this recipe is naturally grain free and dairy free, because it makes it easy to serve to people with a variety of dietary restrictions.

Almond butter contains a good amount of (healthy) fat, so the recipe doesn’t require any additional butter or oil, and magically these cookies hold together without flour or a grain.

    First attempt was part success..lack of cooking skills showed, ending in a slab rather than round cookies. I know you said to leave space but how much. Also, struggled with CUPS Britain uses weight.

    I will definitely make some more very scrummy thanks Rachel.

    Cook-on!
