“Everything but the Kitchen Sink” Quinoa Cookies
Yet another quinoa creation from the week. I accidentally made enough quinoa to feed a small army, but I’m not complaining. These “Everything but the Kitchen Sink” Quinoa Cookies were one of my favorite treats so far – not just because they’re tasty and satisfying, or because they’re super nutrient-dense, but because they are the perfect snack for ANY time of day! They are a great option for a sweet and savory dessert, an afternoon-hanger killing snack or an awesome pre-workout energy boost.
These Quinoa Cookies kept me fueled for my 6am track practices every day for a week (until I ran out … which reminds me, I need to make more.).
Enjoy!
