Time 1h5m

Yield about 4 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup desiccated coconut, toasted
1 cup cooked and cooled white quinoa
1/2 cup coarsely chopped toasted walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 4 sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • In a medium mixing bowl combine the flour with the salt and baking soda, and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter with the dark brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well in between each addition, and then add the vanilla. Turn the mixer down to a low speed and add the flour mixture in two parts. When incorporated, stir in the chocolate chips, coconut, quinoa and walnuts.

QUINOA COOKIES

I bake with my three-year-old at least once a week. We have tried a plethora of different cookies with different fruits and bases. This one was a hit! My three-year-old and older child both loved these, and I did too! They are super simple to make and sneak fiber, protein, and other nutrients into dessert! I used one cookie sheet for nine cookies, three rows of three fit well.
