Sometimes I crave a really good chocolate chip cookie. I have a great recipe for that which I will post in the near future. But sometimes I want a cookie that makes me feel slightly less guilty while I'm devouring three or four in a row. At night. Before bed. A coworker of mine shared this recipe with me and I've been whipping it up quickly and easily with Lucas. It's healthy (I mean, less bad for you) because it's packed with protein, gluten free, and best of all, it tastes pretty awesome.
