Okkkkk these matcha cookies are DE-LICIOUS! Ground almonds give them a chewy texture, similar to an amaretto cookie, and the honey provides just enough sweetness, but definitely not too much. These are yummy and wholesome–perfect little cookies with coffee or tea in the afternoon, or after dinner while watching GBBO. Matcha Almond Cookies Yield: 15-17 cookies Ingredients: 1 cup almond meal 1 cup tahini 1/3 cup honey 1 tbsp milk (I used Forager cashew) 2 tsp matcha 1 tsp baking soda 1 egg Optional: dark chocolate and flaked sea salt (I used 88% and Maldon) Method: In a large bowl, mix together the almond meal, tahini, honey, matcha, and milk.…

Tahini-Date Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’m not going to say too much here, because I know how it feels to scroll through the blah-blah-blah’s to get to the good part of a post—-the recipe! Plus, these cookies need no introduction.

Healthy Gingerbread Cookies
These are vying for the best cookies I’ve made all year. I’m a huge gingerbread lover already, so these are going to be CRUCIAL in getting me through the winter and these hard times of waiting for the next season of Game of Thrones (winter is heeeeereee). These cookies are amazing because they are legitimately a healthy version of gingerbread that still tastes like the original–maybe even better. The almond flour and butter give them a very satisfying nutty crunch. Even though they are filled with good-for-you ingredients, they still roll out beautifully and taste incredible. It’s an all-around win and I’m so happy I found this recipe. I used…

Pan-Banging Chocolate Chip Cookies
Alright sooo…. these cookies are not healthy, or made from fruit, or modified to be whole-grain … but what they are … is damn good. This recipe took the internet by storm a few months ago. It was then that I made my first attempt–improvising with my usual whole-wheat, date sugar variation…. but they were a fail. A hard fail. I so badly wanted to experience those undulating ripples that I decided to try again. But this time, I followed the Vanilla Bean blog’s recipe down to the absolute T–to the gram really. If you don’t use a scale to weigh ingredients when baking, I would highly recommend it. In…
