12 Days of Holiday Cookies: Day 3 Chocolate Almond Cookies

14 Dec 12 Days of Holiday Cookies: Day 3 Chocolate Almond Cookies

By Natalie Rizzo, MS, RD, Contributing Blogger

On day three of the 12 Days of Holiday Cookies, I am gifting you a chocolate cookie and a creative gift idea. Unlike cookie recipes that are loaded with butter and sugar, this recipe for Chocolate Almond Cookies contains better-for-you ingredients, like whole wheat flour, almonds and unsweetened cocoa powder.  Plus, the Meal Makeover Moms suggest layering the dry ingredients in a Mason jar and pairing it with a printed recipe to make a fun gift.
