Maple Walnut Macrobiotic / Vegan Cookies by Bita Hunt
In recognition of the fact that we are now selling Bita's Freshly baked macrobiotic cookies in our brand new online store, which sells a broad selection of macrobiotic staples, books, and kitchenware, Simply Natural, Bita has offered to you a recipe for her delicious Maple Walnut Cookies. These cookies are tender and crisp, perfect to indulge in when accompanied by a cup of  kukicha tea.
Bita is a vegan and macrobiotic baker for her business Baked By Bita and also cooks macrobiotic meals for her clients. Bita was raised in a macrobiotic home and wrote her senior thesis in college about macrobiotics and the yin-yang theory of food. She also currently teaches cooking classes at Sur La Table culinary store locations throughout the state, along with an intermediate macrobiotic cooking class at The Natural Gourmet Cooking School in NYC run by Annemarie Colbin. Bita has recently completed training at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

- In a medium bowl, mix together wet ingredients until emulsified.
- Add wet to dry and mix well until combined.
- Using a small ice cream scoop, form cookies about the size of a tablespoon.
