I’ve been really into cooking lately. Although I’m of course interested in cooking for taste, I’m more so into cooking for health, hence these healthy recipes of Holiday cookies. There is nothing better than making a regular cookie into something not only decadently tasty but also healthy. Since I’ve been gluten-free for health reasons for over eight years, way before it became fashionable, I’ve been forced to be creative and resourceful when it comes to gluten-free cooking. Luckily, nowadays more than ever, companies have gotten on board and are offering a lot of gluten-free products. However, not everything without gluten is necessarily healthy: it’s essential to look for the right ingredients in already available products. Or, often we are better off cooking at home. Once in a while, I’ll be sharing healthy recipes here, some of my own, and others from real professionals.
Enjoy these delicious soft cookies made of dried dates, cocoa, coconut, and reduced-fat peanut butter. “Dates are an ideal food for improved energy and brain function. They are a good source of vitamin A & B-complex, and they are rich in minerals such as iron, calcium, manganese, copper, and potassium. Dates are known to help build bone and muscle strength and have been used for thousands of years by athletes to improve physical endurance, agility, and stamina.” Medical Medium
