11 Christmas Cookies Spirulina Green Superfood Ideas

Spirulina Snickerdoodles

Spirulina Snickerdoodles are a fun and nutritious twist on the classic cinnamon-sugar cookie. Incorporating spirulina, a blue-green algae superfood, adds a vibrant green color and a wealth of health benefits to these beloved treats, making them not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. Perfect for the holiday season or any time you want a unique, healthy snack!

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This guarantees the cookies bake evenly.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and spirulina powder. Whisk them together until well mixed and set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer to beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until fully combined.
5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed to avoid flour spilling. Mix just until the dough comes together; avoid overmixing.
6. Prepare Coating: In a small bowl, mix together the additional granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to create the coating for the cookies.
7. Shape the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or your hands, portion out the dough into approximately 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar coating until fully covered.
8. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the coated cookie balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
9. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.
10. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your Spirulina Snickerdoodles, filled with holiday cheer and a healthy twist!
