Valentine’s Day is the one day out of every year that we dedicate to showering those we love with sweet treats and heart-shaped notes. This year, go the extra mile for your loved ones by choosing to use ingredients that support a clean and wholesome diet, like Ancient Harvest™ Gluten-Free Quinoa Flour. Unlike regular flour, this 100% whole grain gluten-free flour is made from the ancient grain superfood, quinoa, and can be used to make any treat deliciously gluten-free.
So, fire up your oven, grab your cookie cutters and make a giant batch of these Conversation Heart Sugar Cookies for your loved ones this Valentine’s Day.
