Hey, guys! ย As you may know my good friend Melissa typically does the grain/gluten free posts around here.

But, this time, you get me instead!

Melissa recently surprised us all with the news that she and her husband are expecting a new little bundle of joy this year!

I couldn’t be more excited for them – love all dem cute babies!

So, Melissa will be back to do her twice per month grain free treat posts soon – right now, a girl needs her beauty rest, ya dig?

If you’ve read any of Melissa’s other posts like these almond butter brownies or these cheesecake bites, you probably know a little of her story.

She eats completely grain free for health reasons – but of course, even with grain free living, there still needs to be treats!

Lucky for us, she comes up with the absolute best gluten free treats out there. ย Not that I’m biased or anything.

I love that she shares these recipes with us here and we can appeal to more people, because not everyone eats the same way.

Even though I don’t eat grain free, I’ve found her recipes (completely delish) but also super helpful when I’m in a situation of having to take treats to school for my kids and there is someone with a grain allergy in the class.

Otherwise, I would have no idea where to turn!

I know you want me to shush and talk about the cookies.

These are really simple to make. ย The dough doesn’t require chilling at all, which is always a win!

They have a nice, rich, almond butter flavor.

They also have that kind of “toasty” flavor that you get from the coconut sugar, which I happen to love.

Nice, soft, perfectly chewy, cookie heaven.

I only ate 4 when they came out of the oven. ย Don’t judge.
