Easy to make and even easier to eat cookies that are a sooo good I promise you’ll want to eat more than one!! Lemon- An inexpensive super fruit that contains so many benefits. It adds not only a burst of flavor but also imparts serious health benefits- not only infusing your body with vitamin c and folates but acting as an internal cleanser and tonic. The antiseptic properties disinfect you internally. Lemon also stimulates the digestive system and helps to elevate bloating, revs up the metabolism and freshens your breath. It also helps to fight bacterial infections and fungi. This recipe calls for the zest, so let me concentrate on the benefits of the peel. Lemon peels contain salvestrol Q40 and limonene, which have been shown to prevent and treat cancer. Lemon peels are rich in the mineral potassium which helps in maintaining your heart function, and digestive capabilities. Lemon peels also (and very importantly) reduce high blood pressure and stroke risk. Basil- The basil leaf which is sweet, slightly minty, and mildly peppery. It’s full of antioxidants that help to protect us against premature aging, protect our cells with its strong antibacterial properties. It can help if you suffer from constipation, stomach cramps or indigestion. Basil will help you ward off colds and respiratory infections as well. It is a great source of magnesium, also contains a good amount of other minerals like potassium, manganese, and iron.
