Tasty Quinoa Chocolate Chip Cookies

Just when you thought I couldn’t add quinoa to anything else… I did. These chocolate chip cookies pack a punch, being both chewy and crunchy at the same time.

I can’t promise that they are super healthy…they have butter and sugar in them (I’m working on that)…but they do have quinoa giving them that protein that will keep you fuller longer. ??????  Just try them for yourself. You won’t be disappointed. Super easy and non fail ??????
