Overview:

I love homemade cookies and I'm always on the hunt for one that tastes like a treat but it's always loaded with sugar or unhealthy fats. This one is just sweet enough to be called dessert and it's packed with tons of healthy mix-ins to pack a nutritional punch!

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
