If I could choose my favorite dessert or sweet, cookies would be in first place, at the maximum in second! Obviously my list is long, but just to explain my obsession with cookies. I’m always in the struggle to do things that are good for the body and the soul, and this recipe is that, and another one of those you should test!

These cookies I made with almond flour to lower the level of carbohydrates and be able to play with other ingredients, such as dark chocolate and coconut sugar, which in my opinion is one of the best types of sugars in terms of health and flavor. These cookies are gluten-free, grain-free, full of anti-inflammatory agents from cocoa, coconut and almonds and rich in nutrients because the ingredients are very whole.

An initial and very important tip for this recipe: do it with your friends, family or take it to the people at work. I say this because these cookies were sensational and if you do it alone (A), you will have to have a lot of maturity so you don’t eat everything at once. Also, as the saying goes: happiness is only true when shared. That is, nothing better than sharing good food, right?

I love a sweetie and I really believe that we can reconcile pleasure, health and flavor, all at the same time. Many people don’t care about sweets, others love it… So, since I’m more for the group of those who love, I never get tired of testing sweet recipes with whole ingredients to satiate the soul in special moments!

These cookies came out of the oven perfumed the whole house. I wanted to finish them off right in the first few minutes, but don’t think that behind these photos there’s no work! Often the recipe comes out and I need to wait for a good light to take the photos, which can be the next day…

Here’s this wonderful recipe, always feel free to change some ingredients! I’m a bad follower of recipes, I always change something. You can change the seeds, add pieces of dried fruit or any other ideas you have if you don’t have any of the ingredients.
