Healthy Cookie Dough
Friends, I wish I could take credit for coming up with this. I cannot. I CAN, however, take credit for passing it along to you via my pal, Sarah. She found a version of it online which was already pretty awesome. I've made it just a tad healthier.
There really isn't much more to say that these pictures don't express. Am I right?
