Hello Everyone!
I am hoping that you won’t make fun of me for calling the following recipe “cookies”. Sometimes I think it best to refer to a food item as something other than what we’re trying to emulate, if it’s features are far from the original item. Like balls of healthy stuff.
I am, however, referring to these as cookies because they are shaped like cookies and have sweet chocolate in them. Feel free to change the name but I’m keeping it.
