Simple Easy and Tasty. These snacks can be made to your taste. This is a suggestion to help you get a base recipe. I looked around in my kitchen and thought about what ingredients I could use to create a healthy, tasty, simple, and low sugar gluten free protein loaded with good fats snack. I came up with this concoction. Please add whatever you like, These would be great with nuts, raisins, and more flour. This recipe is gluten- free but if you add wheat flour, you can make the snacks more like cookies. If you do add or subtract from these recipes- please share. I love learning what will make these better.  Enjoy!

Place mix onto greased baking sheets in tablespoon sized balls. Then press gently with a fork on the top of each cookie to flatten it slightly.
