Healthy No Bake Cookies
I know what you are thinking. How can you possibly call these cookies healthy? I promise you they are so much better than the no-bakes of our past! With just a few simple substitutions, these cookies will blow you away. I warn you that you won't be able to stop eating them! This was one of the first cookies we started making and introducing to our family and friends without telling them it was a "healthy" version. Honestly, most couldn't even tell and now request these when they come for a visit!
