100 Calorie Mandel Bread

These are low calorie and low sugar, but a cookie you can feel good about any time of day. Made with whole grains, natural sugars and almonds for protein. Delicious with a cup of tea.

If you’re the kind of person that needs chocolate in all your cookie like treats (we feel you), go ahead and some chocolate chips, 1 cup will add about 25 calories to each mandle bread.

These cookies were good but definitely on the drier side so they need tea or coffee to go with. For me they needed a touch more sweetness or just the addition of craisins would be good. It’s funny though- as much as I say they’re dry and not sweet enough, I keep going back for more- even without tea!
