Chia Cookies

I first had these cookies at an after party for a ballet season and I just couldn't stop at one. I asked my gorgeous and very talented ballet friend if I could have the recipe… and here it is!
What I love about these cookies is that they are so moorish and just seem to melt in your mouth. They do have a slight crunch from the chia seeds, which I think makes this cookie so unique. 

Chia-
 I am sure that most if not all of you have heard of Chia. They are tiny seeds that can come in either white, brown or black. Despite having little if not no flavour they sure do contain the benefits, hence being called a superfood. 
They are high in...

• High in fiber
• Omega-3 fatty acids, which regulate mood, improves sleep, promotes healthy weight
• Magnesium 
• Protein.
