Cherry, Almond and White Chocolate Quinoa Cookies

I wanted to re-post this recipe here on my blog, after sharing it over at Pink Peony Style! 


Cherry, Almond, White Chocolate Quinoa Cookies
Adapted from Krug the Thinker


1 1/2 cups wheat flour 
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
1/4 cup of sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup cooked and cooled quinoa
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup chopped roasted almonds

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 

Combine flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a separate bowl. Beat together butter, sugars, and honey until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, and vanilla until batter is once again light and fluffy. Slowly beat in flour mixture. Stir in quinoa, oats, cherries, almonds and chocolate chips. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto parchment lined baking sheets. Bake for 13-15 minutes until golden brown in color. Transfer to a rack to cool. 

Cookies can be stored for one week in an airtight container. They may also be frozen for portion controlled snacking! Just thaw desired number of cookies at room temperature and enjoy.
