Healthy Cookies

On Monday night for Family Night we made cookies and had them with milk. While we were eating them, Macie said, "Mom, since cookies and milk go together, does that mean that cookies are in the Dairy group?"

Hey that sounds good to me! I have always wanted to have a reason to eat more cookies, now I just tell people that I need 4-6 servings of cookies a day!

Here is a healthy cookie recipe for cookies so you can have a few more servings a day too!
