Every Leash Your Fitness hike, I try a new healthy cookie recipe. These cookies did not disappoint and everyone loved them on our Eagle Rock Hike! Super good and it gives you the chocolate fix that so many of us crave! They are easy and quick. The hardest part was getting the honey out of the darn container! Let me know how you like them!
***Remember, dogs should not have chocolate so these cookies are off-limits for the dogs! You get this one, all to yourself!
