Cookies are always a kid’s favorite. Cookies if made with healthy ingredients can be a super snack for your kids. Here my lil ones love to nibble on something or the other all the time. So am always in search of healthy and hearty snack recipes that I can make in large batches and store. This prevents me from depending on store bought sugar packed junks.
