Chewy Almond Cookies Recipe

Chewy and delicious, these incredibly flavorful almond meal cookies feature only 4 ingredients and are gluten-free and dairy-free. Nutty almonds make a crisp crust while the inside is totally melting, thanks to applesauce that acts as a shortener. A real treat for kids and adults alike, to imperatively enjoy with a cup of coffee!
