My name is Barbara , I am 18 years old and I love to cook, eat healthy and exercise. That's why I decided to do my Instructable project about almond flour granola cookies. I am a very fit person who loves to eat! I enjoy treating myself with sweets but I don't want to feel guilty about it. That's what encouraged me to create healthy yet delicious cookies that taste as good as sugar cookies.
