Healthy Cookie Dough
Get creative by trying different nut butters for different flavors. Cashew butter has a creamy consistency that I find works best. However, a portion of almond butter and peanut butter also make for a delicious cookie dough base. Consider trying other toppings like white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts.
