ImageGrowing up, my mom always made lots of different cookies during the holidays. It was delicious fun trying each one and picking my favorites and going back for seconds and thirds of those.

One cookie always stood out to me. Later, as a nutrition student, I learned that this delicious cookie was also a rather healthy low-fat cookie. While they’ve become more popular over the years and can now be bought in stores, the homemade version still stands out to me. I’d like to share my mom’s recipe with you.

ImageHappy Thanksgiving! I hope you enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving Day celebrating with family and friends.
