GoodFats: Bergamot Macadamia Nut Cookies
This delectable recipe revamps traditional cookie ingredients to utilize the goodfats from macadamia nuts, grass-fed butter, and organic eggs to create a texture that is luscious and a flavor that is rich. Enjoy one of these cookies as a snack or dessert without compromising the integrity of your healthy diet and lifestyle. (And be sure to look for real bergamot extract as part of this recipe! I like doTerra or Silvercloud brands.)
