Yum - these are definitely more like candy than cookies...a soft Almond Roca truffle. It works surprisingly well to keep them in the freezer, stored on plastic wrap in a tight container for a cool treat. They are very caloric so one is my limit!

Wow! These were really good! I used agave nectar and made them a little smaller so I got 10 cookies. I also used the blender because I don't have a food processor. The texture was like a yummy, chewy candy. Thanks for the recipe!
