These cookies are perfect when you’re trying to avoid sugar! You can adjust the amount of stevia you put in to make them sweeter. I’m not the best baker and stupidly put in a TABLESPOON instead of a teaspoon and ended up with GREEN, inedible cookies!!! AHHHH!!! So don’t make that mistake. Remember that vanilla adds sweetness too so be sure to taste your batter before adding any extras.
Once you have mastered this recipe you could try adding raw cacao to make chocolate biscuits or perhaps some roasted macadamias for some added texture. If you are not on my current (no dairy) detox, then serving these cookies warm with some Cleo’s cream and stewed berries would be a delicious sugar-free dessert too!
