It was Little Joe's turn to bring snacks to school again, and he always requests that we make cookies to take. Well, it's supposed to be a healthy snack, so we got a little creative and made these whole wheat cookies with fresh fruit. That's definitely more than halfway healthy, right?
The sweet burst of the berry's juice when you bite into these cookies is a fun surprise. It's an easy way to get a little bit more fruit into your family's diet.
