I hinted earlier this week about some BIG news that I’ve been keeping under wraps for a while now…
My new book is coming soon!
-

Why I Wrote the Book
I’ve got a sweet tooth and I’m not ashamed to admit it. Over the years, I’ve learned how to make delicious AND nutritious treats that satisfy my cravings without blowing my healthy diet to pieces. I wrote this book because I believe everyone can (and should!) enjoy cookies that are actually good for them even if they taste like indulgent treats.
I started working on the book early this year. All through the spring, I tested cookie recipes like the big blue monster himself. After months of hard work and a lot of baking disasters, I’ve come up with 50 solid recipes that I know you’ll love! Whether you’re new to the world of healthy baking or an old pro, the book offers something unique and appealing to a variety of bakers.

The Virtual Photo Gallery
I’m thrilled to say that the photos inside the book were taken by me, as was the cover photo above. (Those would be the Apple Carrot Quinoa Balls.) But the majority of Super Healthy Cookie photos will be online. Inside the book, you’ll find a link to a special virtual photo gallery. Just enter the link into any web browser and POOF! You’ll get instant full-color photos of over half of the recipes in the book.
But just to whet your appetite, here are a few personal favorites…
Hungry yet?
I know it sounds pretty corny and cliché, but developing these recipes has truly been a labor of love. I feel like each one of the 50 recipes expresses just a little bit of who I am and what I stand for when it comes to living a nourished life. I’ve become very attached to this book throughout the creation process and could not be more pleased with how it has turned out.
Super Healthy Cookies is designed to teach you how to become a healthier baker without having to sacrifice the traits that make cookies so iconic—great flavor and cozy comfort.
So there it is. The cat’s out of the bag—or rather, the cookie’s out of the jar!
Stay connected with me on Facebook and Twitter so that you don’t miss a beat of what’s happening with the new book. Be ready for some celebration come October.
Until then…peace, love, and cookies.
(See the full press release here.)
Congratulations, Hallie! This is such exciting news and I can’t wait to see the book when it’s released. October can’t come soon enough! The recipes sounds amazing and your photos are, of course, mouth watering. I’m dying to try them all – especially the ones with quinoa ;-) !!

Ooo – yum. I am the quintessential cookie monster. (If you want a review when the book comes out, give a holler.) :)
Yum! Those look great and thanks for including some grain-free options for those of us that need them. And a sweetness rating? You thought of everything. :)
So excited to see this! And I am so impressed with how your photography has continued to improve – those photos are absolutely gorgeous. Besides, healthy cookies? You’re speaking my language!
Wow! Does that look like a good cookbook to have or what? I’ve always been a huge fan of your recipes. Can’t wait to check it out. :D
You are amazing, Hallie! Absolutely amazing. I am in awe of you, and your photography is just stunning!
Congrats Hallie; great idea for a book!

Can the holidays come right now?! I am psyched about your new book! Depending on when the book is published in October, I might be making a bunch of these cookies for my son’s birthday party-yeah!
Congrats Hallie! This is so exciting, I love the focus of the book! Cookies are close to my heart :)
Ooo, I’m very excited about this cookbook, and will definitely be getting it as soon as it comes out! I’ve figured out I feel better with “healthy” sweets…although I unabashedly have a sweet tooth, too!! :) Congratulations on your accomplishment, and thanks for sharing!
Eeeek!!! I am SO EXCITED Hallie!!! Beautiful photos too! xoxo
oooooooh! can’t wait! I told my hubby that this xmas, I was only baking healthy goodies. I will buy this book as soon as it’s out!
Wow, Hallie!! This is so great! I can’t wait to be baking cookies from my own personal copy. By the way, the Mango Chai smoothie is a huge hit in our house. Thank you again!

How exciting!!! Tee hee. : )
I never pre-order books, or even order a book when it first comes out, but I’m making an exception in this case! I’m really loving all the recipes I’ve tried so far from The Pure Kitchen and I can’t wait to make up some super healthy cookies.
These recipes sound great and since I love cookies I will be happy to try them out. Congrats on such a big project!
I’ll get right to the point – where and when can I pre-order this gem? I want, I want, I want!!!!!! This one I must have!
Okay, that looks amazing!! Can’t wait to see the book. Congratulations!! ~Tammy
Congratulations! The recipes and photos look superfantastic…and just in time for peak cookie season! Cheers!
This is AWESOME! SO excited for you; cannot wait to try these recipes just in time for the holidays.

Miss you!
hi, I had a question about some of the recipes that contain oatmeal. I am not suppose to eat oatmeal, could I substitute quinoa for the amount of oatmeal is those recipes? thanks ,
Carrie
Carrie: Yes, you can try substituting quinoa flakes for the oatmeal instead. You may just need more quinoa flakes than the recipe calls for because they tend to absorb less liquid than oats.
