- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 - 2 tbsp honey, agave, or maple syrup (I used 1 tbsp and think they are sweet enough)

Optional Drizzle Topping:
- Scoop Chocolate protein powder or 2 Tbsp Coco powder
- 1 tbsp honey
- zest from 1/2 a lemon's to 1 lemon's worth
- just enough water to make it resemble a glaze (2-4 tsps)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl mix together all the dry ingredients, other than the 1/3 cup nuts.
- Add in the olive oil, honey, vanilla, and the possible milk and mix.
- Fold the nuts into the dough.
- Make cookies using about 1 tsp of dough and press them down to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes.
- Take them out of the oven and let them cool for a minute, then place them on top of paper towels on a cooling rack.
