These cookies are a great alternative to the traditional fatty, sugary cookies we are all so used to. This is a super-easy recipe that you and your family will be sure to enjoy.  Add your own touch like nuts, semi-sweet chips, bananas, apples, dried cranberries or raisins.  These cookies are a great year-round treat you don’t need to feel bad about!
