Cricket Cookies

For something a little different, why not try cricket cookies? These cookies aren’t called cricket cookies for the cute little cut-out shape of crickets, but because they are made with cricket flour and chopped crickets. Don’t want to eat crickets? You can substitute mealworm flour and chopped mealworms! These cookies are very high in protein and are sure to be a hit with more adventurous palates.
