This recipe was on the back of my weekly grocery ad.  I was so excited to try it because I LOVE to have some sort of baked good around, but always felt guilty!!  I love how these pack in some extra nutrition and use WAY less butter than most cookies.  These turned out really yummy, although my oven is seriously retarded, and baked them really un-evenly.  So someone try these in a working oven and let me know how they turn out!!
