Remember we are half cookie monster right?
We are always on the look out for delicious cookies. If they can also be a little healthy that is a plus. There is just usually something about gluten/healthy cookies that just taste off. You know? Let me tell you these cookies are fabulous!!! We found them here and highly recommend them.
Turbinado sugar is the only ingredient that you may not have readily available in your pantry. Because this sugar goes through little processing, it is considered a healthier alternative to white sugar. I found it in many stores: Mother’s, Sprouts, local health stores, etc.
