[...] originally found this recipe at This Primal Life here. I’m in the Fall mood (check out my Chicken Soup Recipe) so I tweaked the cookie recipe [...]

I feel the need to add that overnight the more pliable cookies didn’t hold well. Perhaps it was because I stored them quickly in a container so I could go to bed (don’t know about the more firm ones). I point this out to 1-solicit any advice other than using butter instead of oil to get them to stick and 2- share that I found the mix made a great “oatmeal” taste and texture. I think I’m going to throw all these ingredients in a baking bowl one morning to get that nice warm bowl of “oatmeal” that I miss having!

I was led here from MDA and I was looking for a Primal cookie recipe that I could swap out almond meal and almond butter for. I used this recipe to make walnut-apple cookies. I used an extra 1/4 c of walnut meal to balance the grated 1/2 apple I had left over from his Curried Egg salad recipe I made earlier today. I left them in for a while and some of the edges were a bit overdone but those cookies held better and I actually liked the taste. I also added 1 tsp of baking powder. It didn’t make them “rise” but they did expand quite a bit. Perhaps that’s what the baking soda was for (I’m not a natural baker so I don’t know). I think next time I’ll also add some cinnamon to the apples. Thanks for posting this recipe!

I just made these using olive oil and mooshed soaked dates as the sweetener. First batch I added ginger and allspice to get a gingernut-type… and they were pretty good but not quite sweet enough. Also very soft. Second batch I kinda doubled (though not the oil) and had half dessicated coconut. Also added cocoa powder and dried cranberries. Tasted fab – but I burnt them They seemed to have a better chewy texture than the only-almond ones. Maybe my oven sucks!

I love this cookie recipe--I've tried it a couple different ways, but my favorite is with slivered almonds, almond extract, cinnamon and cardamom. I just blogged my variation, with credit to you, of course!

I just made your primal cookies using coconut butter, almond butter, egg, vanilla, hazelnut flour, soda, salt, and chocolate chips. I also baked a few toll house cookies for the husband. My 3 year old asked for one of the “bumpy cookies” (the primal cookies). After eating it she asked for another one. There was NO mention of her even wanting a one of the toll house ones. If that doesn’t say something, I don’t know what does. Awesome recipes. Thanks!
