I have a major sweet tooth. Almost every time I go to the store lately I buy a box of gluten-free cookies. Sometimes I'm not even sure how they got in my cart. It just happens. Of course, once they're in the house it's a given those cookies will be eaten in a matter of days, if not hours. So to save myself from the processed sugar and flour and ensuing symptoms, I have to find ways to feed my inner cookie monster with healthier options. I'm not much of a baker, so I am delighted when I can find a recipe that is simple, easy, and made with whole, healthy ingredients that actually tastes good!

These cookies are a fun healthy-ish way to satisfy a sweet tooth in the middle of sugar-crazy Halloween season, and it's a great way to use that spirulina powder that's been languishing in the back of your cupboard.
Original recipe for superfood holiday cookies at Healthy Crush. 

Ingredients: 
  • 2 cups almond flour (or more to reach desired consistency) 
  • 1/4 cup grass-fed butter (or coconut oil)
  • 1/4 cup raw honey
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp maple syrup (optional) 
  • 1 tsp orange extract and/or 3 drops wild orange essential oil (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1-2 tsp spirulina
  • cacao nibs and goji berries for decoration

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix all ingredients except spirulina, cacao nibs, and berries in a food processor or bowl until it forms a dough. Add enough spirulina to get the desired color. Some brands are more fishy-tasting than others. I recommend Purium for a nearly flavorless powder - ask me about Purium gift cards.  

Roll 1tbsp of dough in your hands to form a ball and press it onto a greased cookie sheet. Press cacao nibs and goji berries to form scary faces or any other ghoulish thing you can imagine! 
​
Bake 8-12 minutes until edges begin to brown. Let cool for 10 minutes. Enjoy! Makes one dozen cookies.
