Three words: Super Healthy Cookies. Ohhh… yea. I got my review copy of Hallie’s latest book, Super Healthy Cookies, and it’s right up my alley. All of the recipes look amazing, but since we have become grain-free I was thrilled to find 23 grain-free recipes – almost half of the book!
These recipes use all of my favorite ingredients: Coconut (flour, oil & sugar), nut butter, nut flour, and natural sweeteners like honey and dates. With such nutrient dense ingredients we can even eat a cookie with our breakfast smoothie, as Ginger is doing in these photos 🙂
She refuses to wear a hat, but she adores sunglasses. So funny.
The top photo (and the cookie Ginger is eating) is called Spiced Apple Raisin Drops. Perfect for fall. We chilled ours on a cooling rack in the freezer before eating them for a crunchier effect. They were spectacular.
But I couldn’t stop there, I had to make these Cookie Dough Squares too – you know how I love cookie dough. These were also soooo delish.
I can’t wait to make more. Next on my list are the Pistachio Chocolate Twists, German Chocolate Cake Bars, Chocolate Covered Mint Patties, and Blueberry Bliss Cookies. In fact, I think I might make the Blueberry Bliss Cookies right now.
I love that I already have all of the ingredients for these recipes since they’re right in line with my own cooking style. And if my recipes work for you, then you probably already have the ingredients too.
♥, Kelly

YUM! You are making me hungry! Since I’m grain-free too, I appreciate you mentioning that the book has so many grain-free recipes. And Ginger is so precious! She’s growing up so fast!

Wow those cookies really do look delish. And awwwwwww Ginger looks like such a sweetheart. I have 4 cookie munchers – so I know how fast they grow up, but man… shes growing up so fast LOL.

Hi Kelly! Thanks for another great recipe book recommendation- my Christmas wish list is growing:)Just a quick question- when you say you guys are eating grain free now, are you still including beans and other seeds (like quinoa or buckwheat)? I am just curious because I would like to stick to mostly grain free but we don’t eat a ton of meat. Thanks so much!

P.S. I forgot to add to my other comment- your daughter is adorable! And we love having cookies for breakfast too:)

Hi Kelly, can you PLEASE install a very simple print this button for your blog. It’s so easy to do this in blogger and it would really make it simpler to print off and try some of your recipes. At the moment I have my laptop sitting in the kitchen so I can cook from your blog – and it now has tomato all over it 🙂 Thank you.
