The great thing about this recipe is it’s a lot like a “pick your own ending” storybook. The nuts and seeds can be exchanged for any kind you would like, as long as the measurements remain the same. You can also change up what you mix in, switching it up with different kinds of baking chips to dried fruits.
All you’ll need to make these treats is 5 minutes and a food processor or a blender.
Put all the ingredients in at once, blend until smooth, and you have the perfect consistency cookie dough! It’s doughy, creamy, sweetness makes the perfect afternoon snack instead of a traditional, sugar-filled cookie.
