My boys have had many different kinds of quinoa cookies. These White Chocolate Cranberry Quinoa Cookies remain a favorite.
White Chocolate Cranberry Quinoa Cookies - Gluten Free, Vegan Option - WendyPolisi.com
I've spoken many, many times about what picky eaters my boys are. My oldest is so picky that often he won't touch the "healthier" cookies that I make.

And most of the time when he does love something, his brother is less than enthusiastic.   (Add to that the toddler who won't eat anything....)

Being a Mama is hard work, isn't it? To say that they can be a little hard on my ego and confidence is a bit of an understatement.

I always breath a sigh of relief when I find something - even a dessert - that they all like.

These White Chocolate Cranberry Quinoa Cookies were a hit around our house.  Gluten Free and easily made vegan with Vegan White Chocolate, I hope these are a hit at your house too.
