A remake of the consummate classic, this new adaptation doesn't take anything away from the original (other than the sugar, gluten and all the other inflammation-causing stuff). Next time your sweet tooth comes calling, you can rely on these tasty cookies to quench your cravings.
Too many people think you have to be deprived to eat well and that is just not the case. While we don't recommend "treats" as a staple of any diet, healthy or otherwise, an occasional indulgence is perfectly acceptable.
With ingredients that are actually packed with nutrition, you can't really go wrong. This is a new spin on a classic cookie. Consider them health-i-fied chocolate chip cookies.
This recipe makes about 24 cookies.
