Recipe: Healthy Post Grape-Nuts cookies
Wednesday, February 29, 2012
I remember that episode on Friends when Monica tries to recreate Phoebe's grandmother's cookie recipe who claims to have gotten it from her grandmother, "Nestlay Toulouse". Hahahaha, I love that episode.
ANYway, I was eating my cereal, Post Grape-Nuts and discovered a cookie recipe in the back of the box. The only reason I even bought the cereal was it said FREE COOKIE INSIDE! Which I naturally ate before even opening the cereal packet.

I cut the recipe in half since the only person who really eats my stuff is me. I also folded in strawberries and used a little less white sugar. It turned out perfect for me because I don't like foods that are too sweet. Wish I had some applesauce on hand because I prefer that>butter. But it turned out really moist, crunchy, and delicioso! And the best part, it's also pretty healthy (with the exception of the butter). The cookies contain a ton of vitamins and minerals including fiber, protein, zinc, magnesium, iron, etc.
