Gluten-Free Almond Flax Cookies

This is such a great recipe I just had to share. Imagine a very moist oatmeal raisin cookie without the flour and the oats. With flax seed and almond butter, these cookies are almost like little energy bars. They mix up really fast – 5 to 10 minutes is all you need. If we are going to treat ourselves to a cookie, these are the ones I want to eat!
