These healthy cookies don’t taste like regular “cookies.” They have no sugar, butter, or oil.   But they are still very yummy!  My kids can eat an entire batch in one sitting.  I don't have to worry about them eating to their hearts content, because these cookies are packed with protein, fiber and minerals your little ones need for growing.  These make a great “on the go” breakfast!

 

Makes: about 24 cookies

Takes: about 5 minutes to prep + 10 minutes to bake
