Made many changes to these: for more flavour, I cooked the quinoa in orange juice; I subbed the oil for sweet potato purée (baby food); I reduced sugar to 1/4 cup; I also added 1/4 cup of goji berries, 1/4 cup currants, 1/4 cup of milk, 1 tsp 4-spice, and 1 egg. They turned out pretty good - not the best cookies I've ever had, but for their nutritional value, they're totally worth making! I only gave 4 stars because I imagine they must be pretty bland if made according to recipe and extremely dry without the milk and egg. A chewy cookie required 15 minutes of baking.Yield: 18 cookies

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
My name's Fi, I'm 23 and I'm at uni atm in my final year studying Philosophy and Literature. I love reading and writing, and hope to do a postgrad course in Folklore and Creative Writing. I'm kind of obsessed with fairy tales, especially Hans Christian Andersen, and I'm a total Harry Potter geek! I love cooking, and I'm also kind of a health freak so I like adapting recipes to make them more healthy, although I love to cook food for other people too. I don't really eat dairy (I had an intolerance when I was younger), and have recently developed a reaction to wheat so I like being creative with what I cook!
