Delicious + Healthy Cookies!

Well, relatively healthy. It's how we justify eating so many in one sitting ;)

A family friend shared this recipe with us when I was a kid and we still use it 20+ years later. That just goes to show that this recipe is a keeper! We did make some modifications, so I've written it out how we like it.
