National Cookie Day is the perfect excuse to satisfy your sweet tooth with delicious and creative cookies. This year, why not elevate your cookie game by incorporating unique and nutritious ingredients from Harmony House Foods? From freeze-dried fruits to freeze-dried and dehydrated vegetables, there’s a way to add a twist to every recipe!
Fruity Delight Cookies
Incorporate freeze-dried mango dices or blueberries into your cookie batter for bursts of natural sweetness and a chewy texture. These fruits add a tropical flair that pairs beautifully with white or dark chocolate chips.
Vegetable-Inspired Treats
For a surprising twist, try adding a spoonful of sweet potato powder to your cookie dough. Just blend dehydrated sweet potatoes to make a powder. It lends a subtle sweetness, vibrant color, and extra nutrients. Combine it with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of brown sugar for cookies reminiscent of autumn flavors.
Protein-Packed Cookies
Boost your cookies with a nutritional punch by including dehydrated bean powder. Pinto or black bean flakes can be ground and added to the batter, creating a dense, energy-packed cookie perfect for a post-workout snack.
Oatmeal Cookies with a Twist
Traditional oatmeal cookies get an upgrade with freeze-dried apple dices or green peas for a sweet-savory combination. Add a dash of cinnamon or ginger to enhance the flavors further.
Colorful Cookie Decorations
Crush some dehydrated vegetables, like red and green bell peppers, into a fine powder to use as a natural topping. It’s a fun way to add vibrant, edible art to your cookies!
