Moringa Cookies - Icebox Cookies

How to make super simple cookies using moringa leaf powder?

It is a cookie made with moringa powder from the miracle tree! I want to eat cookies every day, but I want to eat a little healthier. I make sweet things with moringa powder. Moringa cookies have a similar smell and taste to green tea cookies. In addition, there is more protien, calcium, vitamins and zinc than green tea. There is no doubt that the pure Moringa Tree leaf is the source of incredible health benefits. It’s the ultimate, natural, organic, energy and endurance health supplement - moringa is overflowing with health benefits, 7 times the vitamin C in oranges, 4 times the calcium in milk, 4 times the vitamin A in carrots, 2 times the protien in milk, 3 times the potassium in bananas. Amazing!

It is easy to make these super food cookies! Because they are icebox cookies they are indispensable for the busy or lazy baker.  Keep a batch of cookie dough on hand for instant sweet things!
