Our take on a delicious Italian classic. Primavera means ‘spring’ so traditionally, it would contain spring vegetables but we suggest you feel free to use whichever veggies are in your fridge right now.
It’s hard to live without mayo. This light version can be used wherever you need mayo.
Disclaimer: your children will love this recipe. Any recipe that instructs them to jam their thumbs into cookie dough and fill it with jam is an A+ in their books. It’s a cookie that will win your heart, too. Raspberries and almonds are a winning combination and this recipe in particular highlights the flavors beautifully—lightly sweet, with a buttery almond flavor and pop of sweet raspberry goodness. If you and your children are fans of PB&J, you’ll love this cookie.
