I know we are not supposed to feed the sugar craving but there are times when a girl just needs a cookie and these are pretty bloody good.

1/2c almond meal
1/2c other nut meal (I have been using hazlenut and macadamia)
1/2c coconut
1/2c dried fruit (dates go really well)
1 egg
1tsp coconut oil

mix all together - roll into balls - flatten and bake until golden. These are pretty awesome and even my non paleo friends enjoy them.

awesome effort.
Re dried dates, they can be up to 65% sugar, making this treat about 10-15% sugar.
As a treat, go nuts. If you could get away with a different dried fruit, apples, berries, pears even stone fruit, it would lower it significantly.
Good job. A great snack for on the go. Perfect paleo endurance food as well.

I am sure it will work with any dried fruit! I will def be experimenting as these really hit the spot when I feel like I am missing out (ie in a team meeting while everyone else is scoffing down muffins!)
