\t\t\t\t\t\t- — I wasn’t always a big fan of Valentine’s Day growing up…
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tIt all just felt like so much pressure to “have” a Valentine!
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tBut over the years, it’s kind of turned into a celebration of ALL love — including friendships…
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tBecause those are just as important, don’t you think?
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tWhether it’s a childhood friend… a coworker… or a family member…
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tIt’s a day to really show them how special they are.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tWell, one of myfavoriteways to show love… is through FOOD.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tSo today, to help you make a sweet gift for the special people in your life…
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tI’m sharing a SUPER easy gift you can make right at home:
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tMyChocolate Strawberry Cookies.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tThese cookies are some of my favorites — they’re rich in dark chocolate, and topped with tangy strawberries to balance it out.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tPlus, you only need 8 ingredients, and whipping them up is a breeze.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tJust follow these instructions:

\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tCookie Ingredients: \t\t\t\t\t\t
    \t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
    • \t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    • \t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  • ⅔ cup brown sugar
    • \t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  • ½ tsp sea salt
    • \t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
    • \t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
    • \t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tFor your toppings: \t\t\t\t\t\t
    \t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  • ¼ dark chocolate bar, melted
    • \t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  • ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries (usually in the snack aisle at the grocery store), blended into powder
    • \t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tInstructions: \t\t\t\t\t\t
    \t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
    2. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
    3. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  3. In a large bowl, mix your dry ingredients — almond flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar and salt.
    4. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  4. Add the applesauce and vanilla, and mix until everything is combined. (If it gets too thick, don’t be afraid to use your hands to mix it up.)
    5. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  5. Use your hands to spread and press the dough into an even layer on your parchment paper, until it’s about ¼ inch thick.\xa0
    6. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  6. Don't cut your cookies out just yet — first, bake the whole piece of dough\xa0on your lined cookie sheet for about 20 minutes.
    7. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  7. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 20 minutes before cutting them.
    8. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  8. Cut out your cookies into circles, squares, or any shape you want. If they crumble a little, it's easy to reshape them!
    9. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  9. For your toppings — melt your dark chocolate and drizzle over the cookies.
    10. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  10. Blend up your freeze-dried strawberries, and sprinkle the powder onto your cookies. Enjoy!

\t\t\t\t\t\tIn addition to being adorableanddelicious…
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tThese cookies are full of dark chocolate, rich in antioxidants, that are great for your heart!
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat better way to show your friend, partner, or family you care about them? ;)
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tI hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do, -...
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tAnd no matter how you celebrate, have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

\t\t\t\t\t\tP.S. If cookies aren’t your speed…
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tI recommend making aclassic chocolate-covered strawberry!
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tJust melt a few bars of dark chocolate, dip your strawberries in, and lay them on parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tPop them in the fridge overnight, andvoila— you’ve got a sweet treat anyone would love.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tSometimes I like to mix it up and throw some blueberries or raspberries in there…
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tOr crush up some nuts, like pistachios, and crumble them on top of the strawberries before they go into the fridge.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tIt’s such an easy way to get creative and incorporate some of your friend’s or loved one’s favorite candies and treats.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tHave fun with it, but above all else…
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tJust let someone know youlove themthis Valentine’s Day, however you choose to! \t\t\t\t\t\t
