This recipe was inspired by the Magnolia Journal from the Summer 2024 Issue.

Having a subscription to this beautiful journal is one of the ways I treat myself.  I always love the recipes, quotes and stories as they are so inspiring.

As I rarely go by the book I wanted to reduce the sugar, make it vegan and gluten free.

This took a few tries to ensure the cookie stayed together.

Very thankful for my quality control team who is always open to trying something new.

A few of the changes I made:

Replaced the sugar with Date Paste

Replaced the butter with Almond Butter

Replaced the eggs with Flax Eggs, to make it vegan

Added Gluten Free Flour and Almond Flour instead of regular white flour

Found local Cherries and dried them in the oven instead of purchasing dried cherries.

I hope you enjoy these changes.

Feeling so blessed that a number of my Client’s are now requesting these cookies and that our local market, Better U in Qualicum Beach often will feature these cookies.  They sell out in a day.

To the love of tasty food.

Be kind

Be patient

Be nourished in all you do.

Sharon Summerfield Wellbeing Coach | Holistic Nutritionist

I am a Wellbeing Coach and a Holistic Nutritionist with demonstrated success in nurturing healthy employees and high performing organizations. In December 2017 I founded The Nourished Executive where we partner with our clients to invest in their wellbeing and share strategies to manage stress and prevent burnout.

Prior to launching The Nourished Executive, I worked primarily as a Project Manager/Executive Assistant.

I feel so blessed to have been involved in leading, creating and building unique community partnerships, delivering client and community focused events and meetings and working with many talented executives.

For me it continues to be a top priority to find those ways to partner and nourish the wellbeing of myself and others. This begins by fostering psychological safety and creating boundaries in alignment with our values and purpose.

I believe we can find ways to harmonize life, where work does not come at the cost of life.
