Hygge Sprinkle Cookies (Paleo-ish | Gluten Free | Vegan Option)
What is HYGGE? (Hue-gah). It’s a Danish word for enjoying life’s simple pleasures. Enjoying the things that bring you happiness & joy.
So yes — sprinkles are totally hygge. It could be the only hygge that you need to make you smile in a moment.
HYGGE can be drinking your morning cup of coffee, a good book, a cozy sweater, a yummy smelling candle or listening to the rain or you know… adding some natural colored sprinkles to your cookies just because.
These cookies are made from Artisana Organics brand new Hemp & Brazil Nut Butter blend. I also used Color Kitchen Foods & Supernatural sprinkles on top. Both are made with cane sugar and vegan plant based natural food colors (beets, Spirulina, turmeric etc). I love both of these options because they are made without all the bad artificial food colorings which actually are very harmful to your body. You can learn more about that here.
Enjoy these Hygge Sprinkle Cookies!

Some of the lyrics:
See, there’s a word we live by
To keep our feelings great
You don’t have this word in English
But allow me to translate
Hygge!
