What a year! I can't believe 2013 is almost over. It has been the most wonderful and eye-opening year for us here at Nutrition Transitions, yet we look forward to the change and renewal that 2014 will bring. May you find peace in your thoughts about food and yourself in 2014.

I am very excited to be sharing with you one of the best
tasting cookies I have ever tried! The holidays always sneak up on
me. I usually make a bunch of different types of homemade cookies for
Christmas, but this year I was extremely busy preparing for the GRE
and getting my registered dietitian internship applications ready. Luckily, I
found these cookies on FoodBabe. I am a big fan of goji berries. They are not
only packed with powerful antioxidants and vitamin A, they also taste very
good! By mixing them with chocolate, this just doubles the amazingness of these
berries! Also, this recipe only needs four ingredients
and are very easy to make. Even though I wasn't able to make all my
homemade cookies this year, my family was disappointed with these!

Place a large bowl on top of the pot. This will create a
double boiler.

Once all chocolate is melted, stir in sea salt, goji berries

Use a tablespoon to drop mixture onto wax paper.
Top each drop with a small sprinkle of sea salt.
