These gluten-free cookies are jam packed with good fats from pecans and antioxidants from dried berries to provide many health benefits so you don’t feel guilty, and just enough sweet from white chocolate morsels that you think you are getting away with eating something decadent.

Not only are these white chocolate, pecan, blueberry cookies delicious, they are also good for you so you can eat them guilt-free. (All in moderation of course) The antioxidants in blueberries include many different types of anthocyanins which are the colorful pigments that give many foods their wonderful shades of blue, purple, and red.  These anthocyanins have been proven to improve our nervous system, brain health, and even more recently our memory.  The fiber, good fats and anti-aging benefits in pecans help with weight loss, boost heart and immune health, and slow sign of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation. So enjoy!
