A Big Paleo Protein Cookie with Nuts and Dried Fruit
I wanted to make a snack "cookie" that hubby and I could share after our walk on the beach with Jake. I could have made more cookies but I thought one big one was kind of romantic to share! You will make 2 large cookies with this recipe.
Enjoy my paleo cookie!
