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.

Question of the Day:
Christmas is coming up too quickly, and I have quite a few cookie recipes left to post, meaning some of them will have to wait until next year.
If you have a preference, please let me know which ones you’d most like to see:
- Flourless Sugar Cookie Cut-Outs
- Mint-Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Chocolate Quinoa Cookies
- Cookies in a Jar
- Cake Batter Macaroons
Link of the Day:
My whole family is voting for mint chocolate chip. Mint just screams Christmas to me. : )
If the recipe is what I think it is, ‘Cookies In A Jar’ sounds like a very good gift idea…which is always helpful with Christmas quickly approaching! I am picturing a healthy version of those cookie mixes in a jar, where the ingredients are pre-measured and layered with the instructions attached. Then all you have to do is mix with the liquid as directed and bake. It may not be what you were planning though, idk! And if not, it really won’t matter, because anything you post will be eagerly anticipated! (;
I second this! Also: Cake Batter Macaroons sound delicious!
quinoa cookies pretty please!
mint chocolate chip ALL THE WAY
Sugar cookie cutouts, cookies in a jar, and cake batter macaroons!!!
Mint!
Cake batter macaroons and mint chocolate chip cookies please!!
Flourless Sugar Cookie Cut-Outs and Cookies in a Jar!!
Me too! I was going to write the same thing. 🙂
Yes, flourless sugar cookie cut-outs please!!! My mom and I make these every year and they are sooo many calories due to the flour content. I also can’t have eggs so I have switched to using an egg replacer and that has made the dough a little tougher to work with due to the dryness of using the egg replacer powder.
Chocolate quinoa cookies sound so intriguing!!
Flour less sugar cookies and the Cake batter macaroons please 🙂 Can’t wait to see the new website!
