What is it about a perfectly baked cookie and a cup of warm milk or hot cacao? As the winter months loom closer, I don’t know about you, but I’m comforted by a cookie that tantalizes my sweet tooth and has the added immunity-boosting benefits of adaptogens.
These magical mystical moon cookies have the antioxidant powerhouse benefits of Matcha in the cashew icing and the warm skin food glow of Pearl powder in the cookie base. The dreamiest little accompaniment to any full moon ritual or self-care evening, full of bubble baths with Epsom salts, watching Pretty Woman or Notting Hill with friends, or laying out a spread of food for loved ones this festive season.
