Cookies for Breakfast
baking takes on a healthy twist as we are always aiming to create delicious goodies that contribute to instead of sabotage our health.

Wanna try em’? Check out the recipe. These firm up once they cool and are nice and chewy.

6. Scoop dough into small balls (about 1 rounded tablespoon). Roll in sesame seeds, then flatten them into 1/4 inch thick rounds. 7. Transfer to baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes. 8. Remove from oven even though they are still quite soft. They WILL firm up when cooled.
