Yep, that’s what I said…snickerdroodles. Cheesy I know, but seriously these snickerdoodle cookies are amazing!!
Erica Kerwien of the healthy food blog, www.comfybelly.com, has come out with a fabulous new book called The Healthy Coconut Flour Cookbook. This new cookbook is beautiful and the pictures will make you hungry and your mouth water. And not only are the recipes so tasty and all paleo-friendly, but many of them are nut-free which is great because so many of the paleo “treats” are made with almond flours. And, because coconut flour is full of fiber, it helps keep our blood sugar levels stable and our bodies digest the food more slowly. It also can keep us fuller, longer. All the reason to use more coconut flour, and even more reason to get her amazing coconut flour cookbook! If you love it as much as I do, please take the time to get her a great review on Amazon or BarnesandNoble.com.
