Yep, you read the title right. I really put quinoa in my cookies. Before you turn up your nose, hear me out. The other day I made a quinoa salad for dinner. While we were eating, I told Josh I was in the mood to bake cookies. What’s new, right? ๐Ÿ™‚ He requested Toasted Coconut, Toffee, & Chocolate Chip Cookies, but I said what about a quinoa cookie? He looked at me with a blank stare and said…sure! ha! I finished my salad and got down to business. I was determined to create a wining Quinoa Cookie…and I did!

Pin It!

I wanted a thick and hearty cookie so I used whole wheat flour, oats, and quinoa. There is nothing whimpy about these cookies! The cookies are flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves. I also threw in raisins and chocolate chips. These cookies are packed with deliciousness!

The quinoa was a genius addition, if I do say so myself:) It adds a nice little crunch to the cookies. Plus, it makes the cookies healthy-so you can eat them for breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner:)

The Quinoa Cookies are irresistible right out of the oven, but they are also pretty tasty frozen too! I have a hidden stash-don’t tell Josh. Yeah, he loved my Quinoa Cookie creation. I knew he would:)

Have a great weekend!
