This is the greatest recipe I have in my shed, but HELLISHLY pricey!
* I used to have coconut sugar OR xylitol, but I’ve realised coconut sugar is a total NO NO!

    My cookies were a disaster! Maybe 1 cup of macadamia nut butter was too much? I’m not sure. There was nothing biscuity about my batch. Maybe 40min the freezer was a bad idea on my part?
    When they got into the oven they just “melted” together into one large “cake”.

      HI Mpho, I’m so sorry they flopped 😦 Yes, I would definitely stick to freezing them for an hour, it really makes a difference. Was the nut butter you used very oily? Was it just 100% nuts (with no added oil)?

    I am definatly trying this tonight but using mixed chopped nuts. I am combining this with a german recipe i have and cant wait to taste the result. Brown sugar in stead of xilatol also works just as well.
