What’s the best part of a sugar cookie?
Is it the pound of sugar, the abundance of butter, or the bleached, processed flour?
If you couldn’t tell by my negative diction, none of those ingredients are the best part of a sugar cookie!
So, what is the best part?
The flavor, of course!
Which, might I add, is captured perfectly in this healthified Sugar Cookie Cookie Dough! I made this not expecting much in flavor, but boy was I wrong! One bite and my eyebrows rose, my eyes lit open, my smile widened… and hastily, I snatched myself another spoonful.
And the texture? Exactly like cookie dough! I’m still in shock. I truly didn’t think this would be a hit. Oh yeah, it was a HIT. I shared it with my college roomies and they all loved it. But shhh! I didn’t tell them it had chickpeas in it 😉
