"I bought organic almond butter, but wasn't happy with its taste (not sweet enough), and couldn't find a good recipe to use so I created this one. I'd been wanting to play with gluten-free flour and this experiment turned out perfectly. The cookies have a nice nutty flavor, but the honey, sugar and chocolate help balance it. Plus the shortening makes them just melt in your mouth. These could easily be made lactose and egg free too (just substitute those ingredients as necessary)."

I love to cook, and I love to eat (don't they go hand in hand?). I'm really good at following recipies, or improvising with what I have. I prefer to improvise though- I am more adventurous that way. My mother is one of the best cooks I know, and I keep trying to get her to put recipes together for me, but it hasn't happened yet. My fiance and I have a Shiba Inu puppy (well hes a yr but he'll always be my puppy), Kuma, and I love baking him some yummy treats! He's also a fantastic cook.
