Santa’s Cookies

Tis’ the season to be jolly and oh my gosh I am SO excited to share with you these jolly good Santa’s Cookies!! We made this easy peasy recipe to leave out for Santa the night before Christmas 😜Now of course we’ve made a healthy version (you’re welcome Santa!) by including spelt flour for a great source of fibre as well as protein but it also includes more good stuff like white chocolate chips, dried cranberries and pistachios (see how we incorporated white, red and green to make it more festive!). Now that’s my kind of cookie! Let’s hope there are actually some left for Santa!

Method

• Fold in the white chocolate, cranberries and pistachios to the mixture and mix until well combined.
• Chill dough for 10 minutes in the fridge while oven continues preheating.
