Today, altho quite sunny and hot, has been a lovely productive day for me indoors. We had a swim meet last night which left us getting home quite late. I gave myself an extra 30 minutes to sleep and then hit the gym to test out my new Mizunos. I got in a lovely 8 mile run on the treadmill (5 more to go for my 25 weekly mile mark) and then came home to taxi to swim practice. I walked while practice went on and then came home to start cleaning and whipped up this batch of cookies. I’ll admit, I just started throwing things in a bowl and prayed it worked. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t! Thankfully… this one was a winner. These are NOT overly sweet. Honestly, they don’t need to be. The almond butter and maple syrup are the perfect amount of sweetness with no added refined sugars necessary. Perfect, vegan and gluten free cookie. You can actually see the goodness and ingredients right in each cookie. I’m smitten.
