Delicious! I actually really enjoyed these cookies. They crisp a little on the bottom and edges and they are thick and filling so you wont want to eat a bunch of them. I'd like to try them again with applesauce instead of olive oil and see how they do.

I am waiting on a picture from my Kayaking trip before I publish the post so it's coming soon. Today's agenda includes a meeting at 1, TRX class at 4 followed by a much needed Yin Deep Stretch Class for me and maybe some cardio mixed in somewhere along the way. My mom is sending my Vitamix Blender today so I couldn't be more excited for that!!!

Have a fantastic Monday!
