Notes
Nutritional breakdown does not include chocolate frosting.
You can find all the ingredients for the cookies from my Pantry Staples.
Because these gluten-free cookies don't have any flour in them, they're going to be denser than one that does. However, coming out of the oven they're soft and delicious.
Once stored in the fridge they're still soft to bite into but a bit firmer than at room temperature.
Make sure to use runny nut butter to give the cookies the best texture. Extra cashew butter can be used if you don't have almond.
Allow cookies to cool completely before frosting. The frosting is THICK and the cookies are delicate.
