Quinoa Oatmeal Toddler Cookies

I was trying to get some nutrients into my picky toddler. This recipe has the benefit of iron and vitamins from the baby cereal plus protein from the quinoa.

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup infant oat cereal
• 1 ½ cups quick-cooking oats
• 1 cup cooked quinoa

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a bowl until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
3. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl; add to butter mixture until dough is just mixed. Fold in oats and quinoa. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto baking sheet, approximately 2 inches apart.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
