Happy new year! Time to chase a brand new set of (hashtag) goals! How about a sweet but healthy treat this new year? Something to grab on your way out of the door on a super hectic weekday commute. You won't go wrong with this hearty breakfast cookie recipe form Betty Crocker. I used mini chocolate chips and cacao nibs for my version and omitted the nuts. It still taste absolutely yummy!
