It can be hard to find healthy cookie recipes that kids will actually eat. Trust me, I know!
Over the years, however, I’ve created a few tasty recipes that my kids both eat and love.
I’ll admit, I don’t always get all four kids to like a recipe, but the recipes I’ve included below have at least two out of four votes.
I hope you find a recipe to try for your littles!
Yogurt Chocolate Chip Cookies
I really like eating recipes with yogurt, because I know I’m getting a little extra protein.
Healthy Monster Cookies
All the kids love this recipe, I’m sure having something to do with the candy topping. I buy my healthier M&Ms from the bulk bin at Sprouts.
