Nice jojo, a like the story behind the cookies as well!


Thanks for another professional posting Sarah...


Love this recipe and the story behind it! I also love the taste of almonds.


These sound wonderful. Any idea what I might use instead of malt syrup? Or is it worth the time to track it down?


Try honey or maple syrup, or even agave nectar instead... it's just a sweetening thing.


This sounds great!
