Ingredients

• 1 cup hazelnut meal (you can substitute almond meal if you can’t find hazelnut meal)
• 1/3 cup hazelnut butter

• 2 tablespoons macadamia nut oil (or coconut oil or ghee)
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

Method

• Preheat the oven to 355 degrees F.
• Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir well.
• Roll the mixture into tablespoon sized pieces, shape into cookies and place on a lined oven tray.

If you prefer a harder cookie, you can bake them for slightly longer; keeping an eye on them to make sure they don’t burn.
