I love recipes that can be modified, and this is a perfect one.

As you know I have a new obsession with chocolate, and I love eating chocolate chip cookies, especially when I am hungry! Which is terrible since I always eat a minimum of three before I start to feel guilty. So I tried a few variations of my favourite cookie, and have come up with this one;

Quinoa Chocolate Chip Cookie

Prep 20 min  Cook 15 minutes  Yields 12-18 cookies

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of Quinoa or Quinoa Flour
• 1/4 cup honey

• 1/2 salt
• 6 tbsp of cold butter

• 1 large egg
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

Skip step 1 if you are using Quinoa Flour

1. Preheat oven at 225 degrees F , line baking pan with parchment paper and cook Quinoa in the oven for 10 minutes. This will remove the bitterness.
2. Remove from oven and preheat at 415 degrees F.
3.  Combine Quinoa, baking powder, salt, chocolate chips, and butter, work with your hands to mix butter into mixture.
4. Whisk the other ingredients separately, and then add to mixture.

6. Let cool completely before serving.
