Recipes Desserts Cookies Drop Cookie Recipes Quinoa Cookies 4.7 (79) 67 Reviews 24 Photos I bake with my 3-year-old at least once a week, and this quinoa cookie recipe was a hit. We have tried a plethora of different cookies with different fruits and bases. My 3-year-old and older child both loved these, and I did too! They are super simple to make and sneak fiber, protein, and other nutrients into dessert. I used one cookie sheet for nine cookies; three rows of three fit well.
