Traditionally Southern Seed Snacks were made WITHOUT sugar… just a salty cracker taste.. kinda bland.. but I make them with a twist.. I use the traditional recipe but add sugar and cinnamon. Although this may LOOK like a cookie.. it TASTES more like a slightly sweetened cracker.. This is a snack.. not meant to be a sweet treat, but it does go GREAT with ice cream.. …
