Moringa Cookies






This is the first time I am using moringa powder in my baking and the taste is very special and very similar to the taste of green tea. I used a green tea cookies recipe to make moringa cookies. Oh, It was great!  
Actually, I wanted to make pretty green sweets, so I put a little more powder in it and it was a little bitter. OMG! Although it was a little bitter, the taste was delicious - buttery and creamy. I even felt the bitter taste of the cookies was a little healthier!
Never heard of moringa before?  It is made from naturally-dried moringa leaves. The moringa plant is beginning to gain more popularity as a new “super food” for its highly nutritious profile and powerful anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and tissue-protective properties. 
Also, moringa described as the "miracle tree," helps lower blood pressure and is a sleep aid. It is nature's multi-vitamin providing 7xs the vitamin C of oranges, 4xs the calcium of milk, 4xs the vitamin A of carrots, 3xs the potassium of bananas, and 2xs the protein of yogurt. Amazing!
