These refined sugar + grain + dairy free cookies are error friendly and take no time at all to whip up!
Sometimes you just really need a cookie, right? I don’t think there anything a little chocolate cannot fix! Studies actually show that eating a small bit of dark chocolate can boost your mood. Along with the added macadamia nuts and coconut… well, these cookies are practically like taking a multi-vitamin.
Macadamia nuts are a great source for Vitamin A, iron, protein, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and folates. Coconuts have you set for a lot of the Vitamin B family including B6. B6 is responsible for so many things. The cliff notes are that B6 can aide in healthier skin, detoxifying the liver, improving cognitive function, relieving mood swings (us ladies need all the help we can get in that area)… essential B6 is the beez neez.
And so are these cookies!
*The holistic nutritionist in me is cringing at the thought of someone actually replacing their vitamins with these cookies. I mean, I’m good but I’m not that good okay?
