Feel the energy as you bite into each soft, chewy, delicious superfood cookie! Ground from an adaptogenic root, maca powder is a superfood that can boost energy, relieve stress, and yes, even improve libido!

- Yields: Makes 2 dozen healthy cookies
Ingredients
1/3 cup unpasteurized, raw honey
1 tablespoon gelatinized maca root powder (Found at fine health food stores. I prefer gelatinized maca, the starches have been removed, plus I love the sweet butterscotch taste)
2/3 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
½ cup dark chocolate (70% cocoa or greater), broken into small pieces
Method
Preheat oven to 350 F/175 C. Place parchment paper on baking sheets.
Stir together first 8 ingredients, mix well. Make sure honey is fully incorporated, add coconut, chocolate and mix until well combined. The ‘dough’ will have a very soft consistency to it, so it’s best to scoop with a cookie scoop or small ice cream scoop onto baking sheet. Dough will spread out and flatten as cookies bake, so leave space between each cookie!
Bake 9-12 minutes 9 Minutes or until lightly browned. Enjoy your bites of energy!
