Cinnamon Almond Cookies or "Snickerdoodles" (Dairy, Gluten/Grain and Refined Sugar Free)

The combination of the almond and the cinnamon gives this cookie a warm, irresistible flavour.  I think they go well with a morning herbal tea.  I use almond meal that has already been prepared and found in the Indian section of my local grocery store.  You could just grind up almonds or if you make your own almond  milk this recipe would be great for the left over almond meal, although you might want to cut out the extra water.  These cookies are similar in flavour to a German "Snickerdoodle" but with a twist of "healthy."  Enjoy...and try eating only one.
