These cookies are the ultimate way to satisfy that sweet tooth.

These cookies are soft, puffy, wholesome, sweetened filled with cocoa then packed with cardamom that truly takes things to the next level.

Firstly, this creation begins with a flax egg made by adding flaxseed meal and water to a mixing bowl and letting it sit to achieve an “eggy” texture. Banana acts as another binder while lending natural sweetness and mild banana flavor to the cookies.

Secondly, the coconut oil takes the place of some of the oil in this recipe, providing healthy fats, antioxidants and lauric acid to boost the immune system, and all sorts of other good nutrients. A small amount of apple cider vinegar gives these cookies a touch of crumbly and fruity flavor.

Next, we add baking powder for fluffiness, and sea salt to enhance all the flavors.

These cocoa cardamom cookies are made without any refined flour

We used wholesome oat flour to keep these cookies on the healthier side. — The health factor is undetectable.

Lastly, these cookies are studded with dried tart cherries to give each bite a satisfying tangy and zesty flavor. naturally sweetened + gluten-free + packed with wholesome spice = dreamy snack!
