This recipe comes in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. It’s from one of my all time favorite sites Against All Grain – her recipes are amazing! The green in the cookies are all natural and not from dye – the green occurs due to a chemical reaction with the sunbutter and baking soda. So interesting!
Enjoy and Happy St Patrick’s Day!
