Mangia Paleo

Fruit and Cookie Combos

ME WANT COOKIE. Cappellos has turned me into such a cookie monster. I’ve teamed up with them to help introduce the newest Cappellos items – cookie dough! I really love their products because it was the first paleo pasta I found. The gnocchi is my favorite (team potato!) and I use their lasagne sheets to make apple pie ravioli. Cappellos cookies are sweet treats that come ready to bake in less than 10 minutes. But when you’re a foodie it’s hard not to transform them with other ingredients.

Sooooooooooooo…I added fruit to each of the cookies. You’re in for a real treat in this blog post. There are FOUR RECIPES. Yeah. That’s right. I snuck in a recipe for each cookie.

The newest cookie dough additions are Ginger Snap, Lemon Zest, Chocolate Chip, and Double Chocolate. They are paleo, gluten free, grain free, vegan, and delicious. You can eat them raw, so one of these recipes is designed for that. The first 3 are baked.

Because autumn just started I’ll begin with a fall inspired baked Apple Ginger Snap Crumble.
