Coconut Almond Cookies

Lately I’ve been obsessed with making cookies and pizza. Maybe I just like the idea of playing with dough but honestly, it’s probably the high sugar and high fat content that I’m attracted to.

Below is my latest cookie recipe. There would be pictures except my friends ate them all before I could get a chance to charge my camera batteries. (Thanks Carolyn and Isaac!)

These are great cookies because I use less sugar than most cookie recipes call for.

Next time I make these I’ll be sure to snag a few photos before serving!
