If you’ve ever had spirulina, you know that it’s a nutritional powerhouse that doesn’t exactly taste great. Spirulina, while very good for you, tastes like what it is: algae. So if you want to get it into your diet, you have a few choices — do your best to choke it down, take it in pill form, or do what I do, and disguise it in a tasty snack. These spirulina cookies are my favorite way to exercise that last option! These cookies are packed with tasty and wholesome ingredients. We’ve got raisins, maple syrup, oats, cinnamon and nuts! All of of this is perfect for disguising the intense flavor of spirulina. They make for a batch of cookies that’s pretty healthy too, while keeping things totally vegan and gluten-free! But make no mistake, these are a healthy snack, and not an indulgent dessert. And although the flavor of the spirulina is somewhat covered up, it’s still there. If you’re looking for something more desserty, check out my vegan oatmeal raisin cookies, or even my blackstrap molasses cookies (which are also pretty nutritious!). Tip: Leave a little space between your cookies, but it doesn’t need to be much. They only spread out a tiny bit! Step 1: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and lining a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper. Step 8: Pop your cookies into the oven and bake them for about ten minutes. Step 9: Let them cool on the baking sheets on cooling racks for a few minutes. You can then transfer them directly to the racks to finish cooling.
