Side note:
Yes, I’ve gone back to the old blog header.
This change isn’t permanent. Currently I’m working with a web designer the most patient person in the world to completely overhaul the site’s layout, making it much more user-friendly (including a print option for the recipes). Hopefully it will all be completed soon. New year, new blog?
Now back to your regularly-scheduled cookies…
Pecan pie cookies you can make in minutes.
Delicious and good for you at the same time. If you’ve ever had a pecan pie Larabar, that’s exactly what these pecan pie energy bites taste like.

Pecan Pie Babies
(raw and gluten-free)
- 1/2 cup raw pecans (For all substitutions on this recipe, see nutrition link below) (52g)
- packed 1 cup pitted dates (I use Sunmaid, found in regular grocery stores near the raisins, as they are softer and stickier than the ones found in natural food stores.) (160g)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- optional: chocolate chips (or mini chips, or a piece of your favorite chocolate bar)
Combine all ingredients in a food processor until it makes a crumbly dough. (You can add the optional chocolate chips either before or after blending.) Pour crumbles into a bag and smush into one big ball. Remove from bag and form little balls. Or you can make bars or cookie-cuttered shapes if you prefer. This can also be made in a Magic Bullet: halve the recipe for best blending in a bullet.

Mint-chocolate chip cookies!! They sound delicious! Would it be with mint extract, or mint chocolate chips? Where I live mint extract is rather expensive, but I am going to buy it soon because many recipes call for it.
Sugar cookie cut-outs!! Those are my fav Christmas cookies and they’re so unhealthy!! They need a Katie makeover.
Oh such a hard choice!!! the quinoa chocolate cookies sound amazingggg!!! – but so do the sugar cookies <3 too much cookie love – I can't decide but I'm sure they are both amazing recipes 😀
Gotta try this one as soon as I can get home from work! 😀
Chocolate Quinoa cookies sound oh-so-delicious! And the Flourless Sugar cookies would be awesome too since my 18month old is allergic to wheat – I’m hoping this one will be something she can eat!

Flour less sugar cookies…my son has to have a gluten free diet so these would be most appreciated!
Sugar cookie cut outs please!!! The rest sound super delicious as well but I’m definitely looking for a good sugar cookie recipe for the holidays 🙂
I’d love to see the Flourless Sugar Cookie Cut-Outs. My sister is gluten free, so I’d love to have a wholesome cookie option for her at holiday parties 🙂
I’d definitely like to see the Mint-Chocolate Chip Cookies and the Chocolate Quinoa Cookies! Merry Christmas!
