Easter is just a few weeks away… Sunday, April 5th to be exact! If you’re looking for an easy Easter dessert that is also great to make with the kids, I have just the thing! This recipe is incredibly allergen friendly being that it is tree-nut free, gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free and Organic! I also like that this recipe requires no cooking! These cookies can be ready in a matter of minutes, and although I do recommend freezing the cookies because it helps hold the ingredients together, if you simply can not wait, I don’t blame you!
