hi everyone and welcome back to my channel and welcome it to a new video in
today's video I'm showing you three of my favorite healthy cookie recipes they
are delicious they're fun and they're easy to make so make sure you stay tuned
and watch and don't forget to subscribe if you're new and follow on Instagram
with them always posting recipes in there and I'd creep you guys if you
comment on my photos because I love seeing your life and what you're up to
and all that so let's get into it so the first cookie we are making is this
Chocolate Chunk cookie I'm starting off with some paleo baking flour from Bob's
Red Mill it's a blend of almond tapioca and I think arrowroot I was out of
almond flour otherwise I would have just used plain almond flour so you can do
either of the two either this paleo one or almond flour will be perfect and then
I'm adding in some ground flaxseed which is gonna increase the fiber content and
the omega-3 is it was also going to help regulate blood sugar a little bit of
baking soda which is going to help them kind of rise and develop as like baking
does some Himalayan salt which has 84 essential minerals in it it also helps
balance the pH in your body there's a really great salt that I just use in my
kitchen whenever I'm using salt I'm gonna use some maple syrup for a little
bit of sweetness and it also helps boost your immune system maple syrup has tons
of antioxidants you just have to make sure you get a good quality one then I'm
using a dash of vanilla for some flavor and some more antioxidants and then to
bind it I'm using coconut oil which is a great medium chain triglyceride and
healthy fat that helps shut down hunger hormones and leave you feeling full
so these cookies are really gonna help give you that satisfying cookie flavor
and cookie like cookie without it wanting craving more that makes sense
then I'm adding in some chocolate chunks that are dairy-free soy-free peanut free
there's allergy friendly I'm chocolate chunks and mixing it back
together until I get a nice form ball of dough then I'm going to take my mat with
my silicone baking sheet guys this silicone baking sheet it's one of the
best things I've bought on Amazon they were super affordable it was like you
get two for like less than $20 it's so easy to like bake and then you don't use
aluminum foil because I like a lot of you guys told me that aluminum foil it's
not the best which I agree with but so this makes it a lot easier so you just
look on baking mat press them down and then
you bake them you will have these nice soft chocolate chip cookies they freeze
really well too so let's get into the taste outcomes my favorite part which is
the taste test mmm they're soft they're not too sweet make
out the chocolate chunks but they have protein and fiber in them which is gonna
help like stabilize your blood sugar so good next up we're making a macadamia
nut cookies which guys I think this is my favorite recipe in the whole video
I'm starting off with a cup of almond butter if you want you can also use
sunflower seed butter cashew butter any kind of nut or seed butter you can
basically use in place of this I'm going to use one whisked egg along with a
little bit of coconut sugar this is a little scant quarter cup so scant means
a little less than a quarter cup so I didn't fill it all the way and it's a
great unrefined sugar I'm adding in a couple of tablespoons of almond flour it
just helps kind of like the dough tighten up a bit and like get more thick
so we can make cookie forms vanilla again just for a little bit of flavor
and then some baking soda as well again and of helps cookies develop and helps
them arise and then and then I'm adding in the star of the show which is
macadamia nut macadamia nuts are high in zinc they're gonna help lower your
cholesterol they burn fat and they're super tasty I've also been loving
macadamia nut milk so I'm forming the dough into little cookie shapes and
pressing it at that damn and then once they're out of the oven I'm drizzling
them with coconut butter which kind of gives you that white-chocolate feel I'm
just white chocolate usually has a lot of sugars in it so this gives you that
kind of like white chocolate decadent which is cocoa butter it's delicious
they're so yummy and I think is my new favorite cookie so let's taste it so I'm
super proud of this recipe partly because like I haven't had a
macadamia nut cookie in a long time but the coconut butter kind of gives it like
the white chocolate vibe I didn't have any kind of like clean white chocolate
around or cocoa butter so kind of gives it that vibe so let's have a taste
mmm hmm it's so soft but like you got the macadamia which is then make a nice
crunch you know I found like macadamia nuts or more creamy plus the coconut
butter I think this might be my new favorite cookie and lastly we're making
it these super simple fudgy chocolate cookies I'm
starting off with some avocado yes guys avocado and it tastes so good in here it
has such a like a richness to it and creaminess that makes these cookies so
so fudgy if you ever made like avocado brownies you know what I mean it's kind
of like a similar premise avocado has great healthy fats in it good for you
and again those healthy fats are gonna help keep you satisfied which is key I'm
adding in some maple syrup again I did about half of the 1/4 cup so about 1/8
cup so 2 tablespoons and then I'm using it I got cracking that and I haven't
tried uses flax eggs but if you'd like to you can try and let me know then I'm
using cacao powder cacao is full of antioxidants it's super good for you and
it's unsweetened too then I'm adding in some almond butter you can use any kind
of nut or seed butter here again whatever you kind of like cashew butter
I think would also taste really good in as well and then I'm forming that again
into balls you guys notice a trend here on my silicone baking sheet and these
ones are really easy to form as well and they just bake off really nice like you
can make like sandwiches even with them I think I might do that this summer with
some coconut ice cream I think they'll be really delicious and this is how they
turn out they're super fudgy the perfect treat that has healthy fat they're gonna
satisfy not too sweet I love about these cookies that they're so easy to make I
mean they're fill with great ingredients in them and they're so soft too so let's
have a taste they are so incredibly fudgy they give you that chocolate like
flavor and satisfies that chocolate tooth without being like too sweet or
overpowering love them so what I love about all these cookies too are that
they are freezer friendly so you can keep them really fresh that's what I
like to do and then I might microwave it or just let it defrost when I want one
otherwise I would keep them out of the fridge because fridge just dries out
cookies so I'd keep them out of the fridge or in the freezer alright guys
thanks for watching I hope you enjoyed don't forget to subscribe if you have it
already and let me know down below what your favorite cookie of all time is I
want to I think think about you choose one cookie for the rest of my life it
would probably be chocolate chip but I don't know I said macadamia might like
give it a run for its money so I hope you guys are all having a
fabulous day and I will see you in my next video bye guys
