Health and fertility benefits of Pumpkin White Chocolate Cookies

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 cups white sugar
2 cups pumpkin puree

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon dried orange peel
2 cups white chocolate chips
