I found this recipe in Prevention magazine and was originally very skeptical because these cookies ring in at 91 calories apiece and contain whole wheat flour. However, once I made and tasted them, I realized how AMAZING they are. These cookies are crumbly, flavorful and literally melt in your mouth. They are also my new favorite cookie. Phillip (who is an avid nut hater) even liked them, so I count that as a victory. They do take a little while to make, but they are very much worth it and are snazzy looking enough to go into my Christmas gift baskets.
