Millet Puff Cookies

I found these at yesiwantcake.com whilst searching for dairy-free goodies for DD. I love the use of the millet--it is hard to find recipes that use puffed millet, and it really adds a special something to the texture of baked goods. I believe the original version used puffed rice instead of millet, and peanut butter (where the blogger i read used almond butter instead). This says to me that the sky is the limit on these little gems :). Enjoy!
