Happy Thursday guys! Recipe of the day is Healthy Macadamia Nut & Carob Powder Cookies – refined sugar free cookies that are still that moist and chewy and very, very tasty. 👌
To make these cookies healthier, I’ve used date sugar and carob powder. Carob powder is very much like cocoa, it adds sweetness and is perfect for cakes and bakes, smoothies and shakes. I’ve used it a lot in smoothies and simply love the flavour.
Now date sugar was a new for me. It tastes a bit like light brown sugar. It’s quite sweet but made with dried dates and consisting completely of natural sugars. Fabulous! I could barely taste any difference in the cookies.
And because we love nuts in our house, I’ve added some Macadamia nuts which have numerous health benefits, packed with healthy fats & protein.
We all really enjoyed the cookies, especially the little ones. They were really pleased to be allowed to have cookies for snack. 🙂
