I don't know about you, but while I'm not usually a huge sweets fan, I always seem to crave them in the dead of winter. Maybe it's the little "pick-me-up" I get from the sugar, or perhaps it's just that when it's unendingly cold and dreary out for weeks on end, at least my tastebuds can give me a bit of joy?
Unfortunately, sugar is a big no-no for the immune system, so I have to balance my cravings with my desire to stay healthy. Sometimes the cravings do win out, I'll admit... Which is why I was excited to find this recipe for chocolate chip cookies with immune-boosting ingredients!
Sadly, eating cookies will not make you healthy. However, if you're going to eat cookies anyway, why not include some good-for-you stuff in the mix? These will satisfy your sweet tooth and the warming spices are perfect with a hot cup of tea on a snowy winter afternoon!
This tasty recipe includes immune-boosting astragalus and shiitake mushroom powder (you can also make them with lion's mane, or other mild-tasting mushrooms, but be sure to avoid any with strong or bitter flavors). Feel free to substitute gluten-free flours if you prefer.
