Maca Chip Cookies
Fancy a sweet treat? Nikalene Riddle from Skinnymixers created these delicious cookies on a whim for her kids to enjoy as a treat for afternoon tea. Made with spelt flour and coconut sugar, this is a healthier alternative to traditional cookies. This is a very forgiving recipe, allowing you to adapt to your dietary needs and what you have in the cupboard.
