It’s Healthier, Fresher, and More Cost Effective Than Starbucks

This is a recipe that I modified over the years and there are many variations to it depending on how many calories, protein, fiber, etc. I want. If you make these cookies enough, you’ll know how to modify them to your liking as well.

Optional Ingredients (not all at once):
