2 c whole wheat or gluten free flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp fine grind sea salt

1/2 c apple sauce

2 tsp vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. Combine flour, baking sodea, fine grind sea salt, semi sweet mini chocolate chips, and nuts in a large bowl

    They are good. I bake these, and then I put a couple in one of those snack size ziplock baggies (about 3) and I freeze them. I grab them when I need to go out and want to take a snack along. My trainer taught me that!

    I have to say we just baked these, and no one liked them, my kids said they tasted like cardboard bird seed? don't know what that means, :laugh: a little disappointed, but maybe just not a kid recipe, I wouldn't try them myself because of the choc chips, and the maple syrup, don't eat that kinda stuff, but it's not a kid approved cookie, it was tested by 9 kids, none of them even finished one! :angry: :grumble:, healthy snacks are trial and error with the kids.

    but congrats on becoming a zumba instructor, I was certified two years ago, it's a blast!
