Quinoa Cookies

1. Cook quinoa in a pan (according to directions on bag, usually a 2:1 ratio of water to quinoa). Let cool. Set aside. You will use all this cooked quinoa in the recipe.

2. Preheat oven to 375°F. Use a Silpat or line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

3. Whisk flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a large bowl. In another bowl use an electric mixer to beat butter, sugars, vanilla, and honey until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time and beat for 2 more minutes. Stir in flour mixture, all of the cooked quinoa and oats.

4. Stir in your chocolate berries. Spoon dough in 2-tablespoon balls onto prepared sheets about 1 inch apart. These don’t expand much when they cook.

5. Bake at 375ºF for 12-15 minutes. These look like crunchy cookies but they are actually very moist from the quinoa so they are best when refrigerated.
