Paleo, gluten free, dairy free, delicious, what more could you want in a cookie? Not much I’m thinking...well maybe chocolate. Yep, we can do that too

I had a fit of late night baking, as I have been a little slack in the new recipe department (on here...been manic elsewhere!) and this is the rather delicious result. I had everthing on hand and I have to say almost any nut or seed would suffice, but don’t take my word for it, give them a whirl.

Happy Baking.
