Additional Information:

I am trying to find ways to include more quinoa in our diet, and I experimented with this recipe with quinoa and J loves it. He has eaten almost half of them, until I stopped him. Made this way, it is a very nutritious Danish Christmas cookies, so we don't have to feel guilty indulging in it. I am using baby blender, thus I blended the ingredients in batches.
