Whipped these up as was feeling like a sweet treat & thought how better to use some odds & ends from the pantry!

I like to focus on ingredients over recipes to reduce waste.

When I have things to use up I check Pinterest & search for recipes using that ingredient. Thats what led me to these sweet morsels.

Adapted from @bromabakery healthy GF choc chip cookies recipe I was pretty pleased with how they turned out as my baking experiments rarely do!

I had almond meal & cashew butter that needed to be used (the original recipe called for almond but I switched). You could add in any nuts & seeds & switch the egg for a flax egg if you prefer.

Perfect as a sneaky lunchbox treat or double the batch & freeze half the dough for later!  

Watch them in all their cookie glory here!
