Jodi Lariviere shares seasonal recipes that are as healthy as they are yummy
These cookies are a huge hit with my family during the holiday season. With whole wheat flour and ground almonds, not only are they a healthy alternatives to other desserts this time of year, but they make a wonderful gift! The dough is simple to prepare and allows you to easily gift it frozen and pre-rolled with baking directions to friends, family and co-workers. Or if you prefer, you can bake them yourself in as little as 10 minutes and have plenty to share. This recipe makes 48 cookies.
