"Faithful Foodies" was inspired by Christian Gals (involved at Saddleback Church's Walk & Worship) who love to Bake & Cook. And this blog is dedicated to finding a way to incorporate healthier ingredients into tasty treats and sharing the recipes. It's your body, but...God Created It, Jesus Died For It, the Holy Spirit Lives In It, Shouldn't You Take Care Of It!

½ tsp Salt
¼ tsp Ground Cinnamon
¼ cup Cacao Nibs (Navitas Naturals) or ¼ cup Dark Chocolate Chips (chopped)
¼ cup Agave Nectar or Coconut Nectar
Zest of one orange
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
 
Mix ingredients in a large bowl; roll into 1 inch balls.

Thanks to Kitty for bringing these healthy treats to Walk & Worship last week!  They were/are delicious!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTE:  I used all Organic ingredients.  I also opted for Coconut Nectar instead of the Agave. 
 
A helpful tip - wet your hands with water before rolling dought into balls.  It will help press together these little cookies and limit the sticking to your hands while rolling.
