So it's that time of year again — cookies, cookies and more COOKIES!
Personally, I'm a cookie-any-time-of-year kind of gal, but during the holiday season I'm a cookie baking machine. Honestly, in the last four days I think I've made at least 8 dozen different kinds of cookies. Yes, I'm crazy. Yes, they're delicious. No, my waistline isn't thrilled. But yes, my tummy sure is. And yes, you better believe I have a gigantic smile on my face.
How can I not? It's cookie season! And cookies are one of the most fun desserts to bake this time of year, right?
Now remember what we were chatting about last week? We're mixing things up this month. Since we had a salmon recipe on Thursday, now it's time for a cookie (or two).
In today's post I'm going to show you 25 different ways to make holiday cookies using…QUINOA! Yep, that's right. We've got twenty-five quinoa cookie recipes here that are perfect for your holiday baking list.
You already know me and know that I add quinoa to just about everything I make — and that includes cookies. As it turns out, lots of other bloggers do too! So I've pulled my favorite recipes together for you and I can't wait to hear what you end up making. Let me know in the comments below and I'll try to hold myself back from running to your house to taste them 🙂
