I want to have an Oprah moment when I put a box of AHTK Almond Butter Chai Cookies under everyone’s chair and say:
Because we are all citizens practicing strict social-distancing and safe quarantining at home, I chose to have my Oprah cookie moment via zoom. I ask you to understand that I’m doing my best to provide a quality cookie exchange experience with the goal of successful cookie consumption as anticipated.
I hope you don’t have a history of *cookie monsters under your bed… Unfortunately, all the *cookie monster repellant is running low at Target…
PLEASE, participate in the AHTK Chai Cookie Exchange AT YOUR OWN RISK… 😳
I prepare two batches of these cookies…
FIRST: The OG AHTK Chai Cookie recipe. The OG recipe that I (or… Cheryl(s)??) accidentally threw out…
SECOND: AHTK Chai Cookies 2.0… I added almond butter to the recipe and it gave the recipe an amazing texture. I’ll take the recipe disposal as a blessing in disguise. So, thank you, Cheryl 😉
BOTH times I baked the chai cookies, the kale kitchen smelled sweet, spicy, and slightly flowery –SO COMFORTING !!
If you’re like me and LOVE a super flavorful cookie, this recipe is for you. There are so many flavorful spices that make this cookie taste indulgent and rich.
*BUT, it isn’t indulgent!!!
The primary ingredient in this recipe is almonds, which are found in the almond flour and almond butter.
Almonds are great source of:
- Vitamin E: immune function AND protecting cells from damaging effects of free radicals
- Heart healthy fats
- Fiber for digestive & gut health
This cookie is a multitasker – you satisfy your cravings WHILE consuming protective and beneficial nutrients!!
