These cookies are delicious and packed with chocolate chips, almonds and walnuts with a peanut butter base. Although they are made with brown sugar and table sugar, you can find the good in these cookies from the healthy fats from the almonds, peanut butter and omega 3s in walnuts! Serve with a glass of unsweetened soy milk (or your milk of choice) to add some calcium. One cookie (or two) a day never hurt anyone, right?
