Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350' and line cookie sheet with parchment paper.

2. Toss everything into a food processor and process until well blended.

3. Scoop out in even amounts and flatten. **Libby's note: I really find this ice cream scoop easy to use as nothing sticks to it and everything is evenly sized.

4. Bake for 30 minutes. If you really want a crisper cookie, this is where you turn off the oven and allow the cookies to rest for an additional 30 mins. Otherwise, remove them after 30 mins and cool on a rack.

5. Store uncovered if you'd like a hard cookie, and covered if you'd like it softer.
