Cranberries and almonds – a perfect combination for cookies!
I am a huge fan of these home-made cookies for three reasons: They are best when they’re right out of the oven, they contain no processed sugar, and they are high in protein. I love taking them to work or school as a snack, or for having them with coffee in the afternoon.

50g Hazelnuts, chopped

Possible Variations
- Try different kind of nuts: Swap the ground almonds for hazelnuts
- Add in walnut: If hazelnut is not your favorite, these cookies taste also great with walnut!

- Flaxseed: Mix one tablespoon of flaxseed with three tablespoons of water to get the same result as with using chia seeds
Note:
If you like it to be sweeter, feel free to add in more sugar!
