The cookie in this recipe is rich in flavor, sweet, tangy and savory all in one. Full of superfoods and vital minerals to keep your body in peak condition through the cold months. I love making superfood cookies, and all can be used as a pie crust or tart as well. When you want a treat in a flash, this is the ultimate in flavor and satisfaction.
