Good morning everyone! I’m so excited to have Suzanne from Strands of My Life sharing a delicious recipe from her cookbook, Paleo Treats! Paleo Treats came about as part of her research in finding the root of her lifelong digestive issues. Paleo Treats is a cookbook of healthy, grain-free recipes that will satisfy that need for something sweet without eating any sugar. Every recipe in her cookbook is grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, and NUT-FREE! I know this is important for so many of you who need to stay away from nuts.
You can order her cookbook HERE…or get it ridiculously cheap as part of the Fall into Health Sale! Check out some of her cooking creations below…drool!!!

And now please welcome my friend Suzanne from Stands of My Life as she, graciously, shares a beautiful recipe from Paleo Treats!
Thank you so much, Jackie, for having me on your lovely blog. These are the simplest of cookies to put together as long as you have some date puree stored away in your fridge. Otherwise you will need a food processor to grind the dates up until they form a mush. I soak my dates in boiling water for an hour first and this makes it easier to puree. These are healthy little drops of heaven for when you need that sweet hit.
