It's been nearly seven years since I got sick, and wow, during that time I've had so very few sweets. Well, today saw a recipe for some almond butter cookies that sure did look good. Tweaked a few of the ingredients and I think I've found a rare treat to enjoy. And yes, today am trying dates for the first time. Probably I won't have any reaction but I don't want to push it. Slow and steady. But yes, a TREAT! Almond Butter Cookie Bars (mix wet ingredients in very hot water) 11-12 medjool dates soaked in 2/3 c very hot water 5 T coconut oil 2/3 c almost butter (add after the above is mixed and blended or mashed smooth) 1 t vanilla 2 T fresh ginger, minced (mix dry ingredients) 1 c quinoa flour 3 T almond flour 1/2 t baking powder 1 t cinnamon powder a dusting of nutmeg salt to taste Blend all of the ingredients together until the mixture is a cross between a dough and a batter. Mine was a little runny so I decided to make cookie bars instead o
