1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup cane sugar
1/2 cup butter (melted or at room temp)

Add these ingredients to sugar-butter mixture:
2 eggs
1 TBS vanilla
1 TBS milk, or alternative

2 cups of Quinoa flakes*, can substitute 1/2 cup for Quinoa flour
1 cup whole oats
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chocolate chips
