Who doesn’t love a good cookie? I’m sure there aren’t many that would ever turn down a warm gooey chocolate chip cookie piping hot from the oven. As delicious as that may sound, it’s hard to compromise including cookies into your everyday diet without the added guilt.
That is unless you consider these…..
These two bite almond butter granola cookies have virtually no sugar, are low in fat, and can actually be considered good for you! What a better reason to have a cookie a day.
