Here is the perfect cookie recipe to make for a special someone this Valentine’s Day. In this recipe, you will be swapping out the high-glycemic flours in favor of tiger nut flour, a pre-biotic, which is beneficial for gut health and is known as a resistant starch. With the addition of BochaSweet, you can savor the sweetness one bite at a time without worrying about the weight gain or blood sugar spikes.

INGREDIENTS

Makes 20 cookies

• 2 cup tigernut flour
• 1 cup BochaSweet
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tbsp ghee
• 1/2 tbsp melted cacao butter
• 1 egg
• Optional: 1 tbsp collagen protein
• several strawberries diced

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350°F while you line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Start by mixing the ghee, melted cacao butter, vanilla extract, egg and BochaSweet in a food processor until creamy consistency forms. Add in the flour, baking soda, collagen protein, and salt. Process until a dough forms. Gently fold in the diced strawberries into the dough. Scoop a tablespoon amount of dough and place onto parchment line baking sheet creating a round cookie shape. Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle extra BochaSweet for “sugar” cookies.
