Preheat oven to 350F.  Mix dry ingredients together until well blended (no clumps).  In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredient. Add wet to dry and mix well, adding in any optional items at this time. 

Spoon onto parchment/silicone lined cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies appear firm.  Remove from oven to cool.

While cooling, prepare the frosting and top the cookies once they're completely cooled, or leave them plain.  Either way... enjoy them guilt-free!!

Thank you Kyla McDonald for this wonderful recipe!

Yields 8-10 cookies.
