These little cookies use cooked, chilled quinoa as one of the ingredients which adds a bit more protein. Bake up a batch of these the next time you have some leftover quinoa.

I had a little helper in the kitchen while baking these cookies. I am amazed at moments how quickly time flies. The aprons we are wearing are over 22 years old and my son wore it when he was little. They were handmade by my friend, Dorothy and constructed so well. that I know they have years of memories still in waiting to be experienced.
“Is it cookie eating time yet, Grandma?”
I also did a bit of crafting and learned how to make my own burlap ribbon. I love mason jars because they are so versatile.
Wishing you a Happy Memorial Day!
