Christmas cookies don't have to be full of sugar and artificial ingredients. These gluten free and grain free almond cookies are simple yet extremely tasty and healthy . The recipes contains only 3 ingredients and no grains of any kind. The best part is that they can be prepped and baked in under 15 minutes. With a prep time of 5 minutes and a cook time of 8- 10, this quick and easy cookie can be whipped up at the spur of the moment for your family or friends to enjoy all during the holidays. You will feel good giving them to your kids because they are made from healthy ingredients. This recipe was given to me by my friend whose Nanny from the Philippines makes these for their family. I reduced the sugar and added some chopped dried fruit. They are made with wholesome raw sliced almonds which I purchased at Trader Joe. The almonds were reasonable, and I was surprised that they are also available online at Amazon Trader Joe's Raw Sliced Almonds - If you don't live near a Trader Joe, this is a real help to be able to take advantage of the savings online. I also use a non - bleached parchment paper that I buy for 5.99 a roll in a local supermarket. I noticed that they sell the same brand online at Amazon for 4 rolls IF YOU CARE 100% Unbleached Silicone Parchment Paper, 70-Foot Roll (Pack of 4) for $21.14. I live in a high traffic area and lately I have begun to buy more on Amazon Prime for convenience as well as also I sometimes get a better price. With Prime, I usually get my order in 2 days and no shipping charge.
