One of my favorite cookies growing up is actually one of the easiest to make (no oven required), but they weren’t very nutritious (loaded with refined sugar!) I wanted to create a healthier version for the kids(and…well… me too) so this is my grown-up, cleaned-up version of a family favorite. You can make them with almond or peanut butter. So far, I have only tried them with peanut butter and they are delicious. My kids LOVE them!! Enjoy!
