I just adore this cookie recipe because I am on a forever diet it seems and this cookie shocked me with great taste for being a healthy cookie. Now I can always have something special when I need that chocolate chunk cookie treat. I like to give these cookies to my grand kids because they are healthier than store bought and I like them to know that they are special enough to bake for. Now that the kids are going back to school, pack up these guilt free cookies in their lunch box soon!
