Nutritious Almond-Walnut Cookies

Nutritious Almond-Walnut Cookies
Kids love cookies. But getting healthy, nutritious cookies for them, is a challenge.  This is my all time favorite cookie recipe. You can substitute any nut for almonds and walnuts. But I like this combination. So I’m sharing this recipe with you. Hope you like it too.

• Preheat the oven at 350 degrees (F).
• Chop almonds and walnuts in the food processor and keep aside.
• In a large bowl, add all the above ingredients. Mix well with a spatula.
• Take a cup of raw almonds and slice them in half. Keep aside.
• Make marble sized balls of the mixture and press it lightly with the thumb. Now place the halved slices of almonds on each cookie.
• On a lightly greased baking tray, place the cookies gently.
• Put the baking tray in the oven for 10 minutes approximately.
• Cookies are done if they are golden brown and crispy.
