Almond Butter Raisin Cookies (Vegan, Gluten-Free)

Submitted by Ravenhood

"Soft healthful gluten-free cookies made with simple ingredients, with a heavy richness from roasted almond butter, lots of raisins and a bit of maple syrup. They are my staple break-time snack for work and freeze very well. Each cookie comes out to about 125 calories each."

These bites of comfort are soft and chewy! They smell really good too. I used an extra Tbsp of syrup, and I'm glad I did. A plate of these and glass of almond milk made for a delightful afternoon.
