There are times when a mad lab kitchen experiment goes right the first time . Then there are recipes like the Purple Playdough Cookies (made with purple cauliflower!) that took three days of non stop experimentation to finally get something super tasty. And let me tell yah – those three days were brutal – it was 100 degrees outside and my oven was on for hours inside, and the failed versions were NOT tasty.

This labor of love was brought to you by obsession; I was completely obsessed with the thought of making a fun, purple cauliflower recipe. Fun fact: The purple color is caused by the presence of the antioxidant group anthocyanins (Source). I mean, just LOOK at how PRETTY it is!! What a lovely color.

So BEHOLD! A Purple Cauliflower Recipe – Playdough

Print Recipe Purple Cauliflower - Playdough Cookies Purple Cauliflower - Playdough Cookies Prep Time 20 mins Cook Time 15 mins Total Time 35 mins Ingredients 1 Egg

3 tablespoons Butter

0.5 cups Almond Flour

0.5 cups Coconut Flour

1 cup Purple Cauliflower Blended

2 tablespoons Zsweet or sweetener choice

2 tablespoons Sf Vanilla Syrup

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

0.5 tablespoons Cinnamon

0.25 cups Nuts/seeds

0.25 cups Coconut Flakes i used lc foods' raspberry, pumpkin seed and coconut snack pack trail mix* as the nut/coconut flake substitute...except all the raspberries may have been eaten before they got mixed in Instructions Chop up, steam and blend the cauliflower to a smooth consistency

Mix by hand one cup of the blended cauliflower with an egg, the flours, and the butter

Add in the sweeteners and extracts, mix by hand

Add in your nuts/seeds/coconut flakes (I do recommend having something added in for texture)

Roll out and flatten the cookies with your hand on a greased baking sheet. For fun, I made two 'donuts' with a donut pan as well. I actually really like the way they tasted (more "doughier"), but they didn't hold together super strong. Future note: glaze the donut ones for extra holding strength and tastiness.

Bake for 14 minutes at 375 or until firm

Let cool and enjoy!!

Makes 12 – 15 cookies.
