These are the cookies your holiday needs!
Put them under the tree for Santa. Serve them on a platter at your Christmas party. Bring them to coworkers. Make them with the kids or grandkids or your friends.
Or just whip up a batch and eat them while you watch Netflix. Sometimes the holidays are all about de-stressing and taking some you time! And if you haven’t watched the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, you need to get on that ASAP. And Netflix needs to make more episodes even faster.
Back to the cookies though. I don’t care if you aren’t Paleo or even gluten free. Don’t care if you are a chocolate fiend. These grain free, refined sugar free, caffeine free cookies are the BOMB! Like I can’t even deal these are so good. I want to share them with everyone and make batch after batch and eat them for breakfast every day.
Wait. What?
Yep. I ate these for breakfast and I’m gonna do it again. Did I mention they are grain free and refined sugar free?
These do need some time to chill, but other than that they are a breeze to make. While they are delicious at room temperature, they are mind blowing and best enjoyed hot out of the oven. And if you happen to have a batch of Paleo marshmallows lying around, I’m not telling if you melt one or five on top.
