These are amazing for the trails! Chewy nuts and sugar for sustained energy! They’re also super pack-able, and quick to make, and delish. They’re inspired by the Persian cookie Nan-e badami.

P.S. These are also amazing frozen for some reason. Then they’re this awesome frozen-but-chewy texture, it’s cool.
