Quinoa chocolate chip cookies

The quinoa threw me off. Not everyday you see a cookie recipe that has quinoa in it. I love quinoa so I said go for it. Made them and I could not believe how tasty they were.
I didn't put cranberries, flaxseed or chia seeds in it. Still tasted just fine. The almonds I took whole almonds, put them in the oven till toasted and chopped them up with a ninja chopper.

What you'll need:

• 1 c coconut oil, melted
• 3/4 c honey
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 c flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 1/2 c cooked and cooled quinoa. (directions should be on the bag)
• 2 Tbl flaxseed
• 2 1/2 c oats
• 2 Tbl chia seeds
• 1/2 c toasted slivered almonds
• 1/2 dried cherry's or cranberries
• 1/2 c chocolate chips

What to do:

Preheat oven to 375 and get baking sheets ready. 

In a large bowl, beat together the oil and honey with a mixer. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined. Stir in the flour, salt and baking soda. Add the oats, quinoa, flax, chia seeds, almonds, cherries or cranberries and choco chips. Mix this by hand until well mixed. 

Use a spoon or cookie scoop to scoop the dough into 2-3 tbl sized portions. Bake for 8-10 min until bottoms are browned. 

If you want a thinner cookie flatten slightly before baking.
