Chocolatey Nutty Cookies (Dairy, Egg, Gluten/Grain and Regfined Sugar Free)

These grain free cookies have a texture more like a granola bar.  They are packed full of energy and protein.  A bean grinder or food processor will be needed to crush up the seeds and nuts.

• 1/4 cup honey or other natural sweeteners
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1-2 tablespoons water if needed
