Hormone Happy Nutty Cookies

This is the perfect cookie to satisfy your sweet tooth and keep your hormones happy. It’s packed with so many beneficial micronutrients from a mixture of seeds and nuts plus we’ve added healthy fats, fibre and of course protein. I kept this low in sugar by using my favourite prebiotic packed sugar alternative: yacon syrup. All you need to do is mix all of your ingredients together, bake for 15 minutes and then chill before dipping each cookie in dark chocolate (because we don’t have to give up the things we love in the Gold Standard Method!).

What you’ll need:

• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

• 3/4 cup chopped almonds

• 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds

• 1/4 cup hemp hearts

• 1/2 cup coconut ribbons

• 1/3 cup yacon syrup

• 1/4 cup protein powder

• 1/4 cup almond flour

• Crack of salt

• 170g 85% dark chocolate melted

Directions (makes 12 cookies):

1. Add all of your ingredients except for the dark chocolate to a bowl and mix until everything is incorporated.

2. Form into cookies and place on a baking sheet.

3. Bake at 325F for 15 mins, then place them in the freezer.

4. Meanwhile melt your chocolate. Once frozen, remove and dip the bottom of each cookie in your melted chocolate. Drizzle each cookie with the left over chocolate. Enjoy!
