Chocolate Superfood Cookies

I made these cookies egg-free, dairy-free, and grain-free. Plus, I added in a bunch of superfoods to make these healthy chocolate superfood cookies!

My kids love to help in the kitchen, and they especially love to make cookies! As much as I loved the basic chocolate chip cookie dough that I grew up making with my Mom and Grandma, I don’t enjoy the ingredients that we used. We don’t eat white flour or sugar anymore. I had to come up with a healthy cookie recipe that did not contain those ingredients. I wanted to make this a cookie that everyone could enjoy! So, I made them egg-free, dairy-free, and grain-free. Plus, I added in a bunch of superfoods to make these healthy chocolate superfood cookies!

Here is a bit about the superfoods contained in this recipe:

Cocoa Powder: high in antioxidants and has been shown to be beneficial in modulating inflammation and oxidative damage

Chia Seeds: a rich source of antioxidants, fiber, and other nutrients. Chia seeds offer the highest known concentration of unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids. They are also a good source of B vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc and copper

Goji Berries (aka wolfberries): there were so many benefits from goji berries that I had to make a bullet-pointed list

  • Goji berries contain 18 amino acids including the 8 essential amino acids
  • 21 trace minerals including zinc, calcium, germanium, selenium, and phosphorus
  • They are loaded with antioxidants
  • 180% of daily recommended Vitamin A intake per 1 ounce serving
  • B vitamins B1,B2,& B6
  • Vitamin E (which is very rare in fruits)
  • More Vitamin C per ounce than an orange

Coconut Oil: Coconut oil is also rich in lauric acid, a fatty acid found in mother’s milk that is anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral
