I was brought up on cookies, homemade, delicious ones that permeate the air while they are baking. Nothing says home like the aroma of fresh baked cookies. Well, I guess that’s not totally true as baking apple pie with cinnamon does a great job of providing a tantalizing effect on the senses!  I am usually [...]

One of the teachers at my school, Krystal, brought these delicious cookies to school for our Healthy Buffet. They, if you follow WeightWatchers, are 1 point each, which translate into diet friendly.
