Quinoa Breakfast Cookies Recipe

Cookies for breakfast, you say?

But of course.

These little morning bites are gluten-free, and loaded with good stuff –  like almonds, cranberries, and whole cooked quinoa for a different sort of crunch.  Here is my wish for you- When December hands you sugar and alcohol overload, may life hand you these cookies.

Yep, this is a thing.
