Notes
- This recipe yields 12 cookies.
- If you are on the paleo diet you will need to make your own baking powder. Store bought baking powder uses corn starch. To make your own, mix 1 teaspoon baking soda with 2 teaspoon cream of tartar. For this recipe you’ll need 1/4 teaspoon of this mixture.
- Let the cookies cool completely before removing them from the pan.
- These cookies taste even better after they have been in the fridge or left out for a day.
