Love all you do but just a quick request since I’m a clean eating girl with a dirty food mind😉Could you please develop some more desserts & treats that are not solely based on nut butters (and chocolate)..? Need some cookies, cakes, etc, retro-style, so I’m not seduced into jumping the counter at a local boutique bakery because I’m dying for a nostalgic sweet treat! Cut out cookies, sugar cookies, biscotti, even birthday cake, etc- you know the deal from when we were growing up! Whole sleeves of Pepperidge Farms cookies and Entenmann’s everythingggggg. And I’m with you 💯 btw, summertime gas station ice cream treats WERE IT growing up!!🍦😋
I’m addicted!…however only got 5 or 6 cookies out of one batch. Used Maranatha (organic peanuts & salt only) but mine were a touch dry and crumbly- not that it stopped me from devouring them all or anything;) Any clues on what I may be doing wrong? I flattened the dough with my hands too, as a cookie scoop and pressing down with a fork didn’t seem to do it. Just checking out your pictures and yours look perfect so thought I’d ask!
