Today's venture was to make a no bake cookie that is low in calories, low in sugar, and has some nutritional value. And they were super quick to make- less than 10 minutes! These cookies are not real sweet, so don't expect them to taste just like traditional no bake cookies. However, you can adjust the sweetener to your taste. You might also try mixing in some ground flax, chopped nuts, sunflower seeds, or raisins!
