There are some things that just can’t really be described in words. These cookies fit that category. I can try, but honestly, you want to make these for yourself, share them with everyone you love, and have a moment of appreciation for all of the goodness raw foods can bring. These are so easy to make, and with relatively few ingredients, yet they deliver an incredibly complex flavor profile that marries the nutty smokiness of pistachios with the sweet creaminess of coconut with the ever present depth of pure cacao powder.

INGREDIENTS: 2 Cups Coarse Dry Almond Flour ** (see note below), 2 TBSP Date Paste, 1 TBSP Lemon Rind, 1 tsp. ground culinary lavender (I use a mini coffee grinder), 1/3 Cup Coconut Sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 TBSP Vanilla, 1/2 Cup Cacao Nibs (can be replaced with coconut, or left out. Not essential to the recipe).
