Okay, who else eats almond butter by the spoonful? Guilty!

Today’s recipe is another way to get your almond butter fix, and let me tell you, it’s worth the little extra effort.

With October beginning yesterday, I had pumpkin on the brain. I wanted to concoct something that has all the yummy taste of a pumpkin dessert, but without the guilt. These cookies have no flour and no white sugar, so you don’t have to feel guilty about indulging in one or two. Normally I steer clear of baked goods that are gluten free, dairy free, and egg free, but trust me, these taste delicious and indulgent. They go perfectly with a hot cup of coffee and a chilly autumn day.
