Cookies are one of my all-time favourite snacks. They are the perfect accompaniment to a mid-morning or late afternoon cup of green tea. But not all cookies are created equal, of course, and most are packed with more sugar and unhealthy fats than a donut!
This cookie recipe, on the other hand, is a healthy one, but it doesn’t sacrifice taste. Often we associate healthy with unappetizing, pasty, dry, rabbit food, but the recipes I develop in my joyous kitchen are always packed with an equal heaping of both flavour and nutrition.
As well, my recipe will make you feel fabulous and here’s why:
1. It’s packed with fibre from whole wheat flour and ground flaxseeds.
2. It has oats to balance your blood sugar and help lower bad cholesterol.
3. One cookie is a perfect afternoon snack that will beat any cravings.
4. Each one is dense, meaty and delicious and thus ultimately satisfying.
5. They are great for kids, people on the run and easy enough to make. I suggest baking a batch on the weekend and then freezing them.
