Today is Bekah’s post day but I am standing in with a post telling you about one of the many fun things we baked while she was here with Ashkon visiting with us and taking care of me before they went back to Grenada. I am on day 23 of recovering from a back injury and beyond grateful for the prayers of many and the amazing help I received from my family. My husband and I just got home from dropping them at the SF airport (we left the house at 3:30 am). Bekah and I wanted to try a few of the recipes she had pinned on her Pinterest boards to take to our second “SURPRISE” for my husband’s 60th birthday and this recipe looked intriguing. The first surprise was a family day at Disneyland and this second one was a group of friends and family gathering at AT&T park for a Sunday afternoon Giants game. This recipe includes a can of chick peas (garbanzo beans) and since we are big hummus fans and we know the benefits of eating legumes, we thought we would give it a try. These cookies are gluten free and grain free and use completely natural and organic ingredients-definitely do not use any type of nut butter that has added sugars or fats because it will alter the consistency of the cookies and they will not turn out. We adapted this recipe from a blog called Texas Erin (www.texaserin.com)We have tried a few quinoa cookie recipes as well but these are our very favorite healthy cookie so far!
