These cookies are SO good!!! I made a double batch and adapted the recipe, based on the ingredients I had. I used mostly tahini and some peanut butter in place of almond butter. And organic sugar instead of coconut sugar. I used agave nectar in place of maple syrup. I made the cookies double chocolate chip by using cocoa powder and ground flaxseeds, in place of almond flour. I didn’t have any vanilla but look forward to using it next time. I added chopped walnuts and extra chocolate chips too. Delicious and addictive! My friends LOVED them. Thank you! 🙂

I made these cookies the other day and they were amazing!! You honestly wouldn't think that they are healthy! I have made several other 'healthy' dessert recipes and my family usually isn't a fan of them. But everyone really enjoyed these cookies! Definitely recommend! 🍪❤️
