Experiment with different flavor combinations, such as chocolate chips and mint extract. Also, feel free to substitute the almonds for any other type of nuts and seeds you would like, such as pecans, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, or even sesame seeds.

The types of sweeteners that work best in this recipe include allulose, powdered stevia, and monk fruit sweetener. Keep in mind that using other types of sweeteners apart from the above-mentioned may result in a different texture and spreadability of the cookies.
