Forest Cookies

Today, I want to share something I haven’t made before. I love cooking, but due to health issues, I follow a very restrictive diet. Sometimes, I get frustrated, so I’ve been using artificial intelligence to develop recipes with ingredients I can consume that also bring me pleasure. Today, my kitchen was filled with the aromas of the forest.

Crunchy, green, subtle—a little gift for the soul. Oats, pistachios, pine nuts, matcha tea, honey, and a touch of cinnamon combined to create cookies as soft as a whisper of leaves.
