CHRISTMAS

COOKIES

This recipe was a request form our family friend Wanda. It is a great alternative for people with dietary restrictions, such as allergies to gluten, diabetes or cancer . In which sugar amounts have to be restricted or diet beliefs like veganism. This recipe usually calls for molasses, but here i am substituting it for coconut nectar which has great nutritional benefits like : magnesium, chloride, B vitamins, inositol and glutamine. Is low in the glycemic index. If you want to make them lower in carbs substitute the rice flour for coconut flour. They are on the chewier side. As always i hope you enjoy my version of recipes with your loved ones .
