Carob-Oatmeal Raisin Balls

I’ve really been into hazelnuts lately. These cookies are so yummy. They remind me of PB&J cookies, but better. You don’t need to refrigerate these either – unless you want to. You can roll them into balls, or make flat disk-shaped cookies – you decide.
Ingredients:
1 cup raw almonds
1/2 cup raw hazelnuts
1/3 cup raw oats

I love the cheesy kale chips that you [...]
