    Healthy Sugar Cookies

    Healthy, easy to make, dairy free Sugar Cookies!

    I was recently having a discussion with Alyssa about cookies. It went something like this...

    Me: I don't think there's ANYONE in the ENTIRE who doesn't like cookies.

    Alyssa: There has to be somebody in the world who doesn't like cookies.

    Me: Have you ever met someone who didn't like some type of cookie?!

    Alyssa: Well, no, but I don't just go around asking everyone I meet if they like cookies.

    Me: That's because everyone likes cookies, so there's no need to ask.

    Now, this debate went on for another 5 minutes, but you get the point. Since our discussion I've asked several people their opinion on the matter. I won't tell her this, but every person I've asked has agreed with me.

    Ok, so back to these healthy sugar cookies!

    My favorite thing about this recipe is that it's actually dairy free. So, to all my fellow lactose intolerant peeps out there, I got ya covered. Beyond that though, these sugar cookies are unbelievably easy to make and highly addicting. I ate the whole batch - try not to do this unless you have plenty of macros left for the day. I mean, you can easily get lost indulging in these because they're only 69 calories per cookie. Trust me, you take a bite of that first one, and the next thing you know, the palate's empty and you're eating cookie 14. Whooops!
