There are these cookies that I started making a few years ago. I was feeling the need for a healthy cookie. Something that I could be enjoyed equally as breakfast or dessert. In my search, I stumbled across this recipe for a cookie full of seeds, oats, and of course, chocolate. It is gluten free, vegan, and possibly the most dangerous cookie I've ever made, since I'm never able to stop at just one. Since baking these just a few days ago, I've probably consumed upwards of 20 cookies. I'm. Not. Kidding.
I've been making these ever-so-regularly, and just a few months ago I was in the very beautiful and expensive Whole Foods Market. I was perusing their cookie selection, when I noticed a very similar cookie. I checked out the ingredients, and sure enough, it had most of the same key players. That cookie: more than $2 a pop.
What can I say? They're healthy. They're delicious. They're expensive!!! (they really don't cost much to make, but you can tell yourself that as you gobble them down)
