Ok, we realize that cookies aren’t exactly “nutritious”, but it is the holiday season after all! Unlike traditional cookies, this recipe uses canola oil, a healthy, monounsaturated fat. In addition, it’s full of spices, which carry powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. So, enjoy a few guilt-free!
