This recipe originates from my new blogger friend, Kelly who created the site Eat Yourself Skinny; she is beautiful & highly educated in the skinny department. On her blog, she is featuring my low calorie lemon chicken stir fry recipe [ also found here too ].

This one is for all you pumpkin lovers. As we know I obsess over adhering to the seasons [ right now: I’m setting up a crockpot at work that will cascade with the aroma of spiced apple cider, cinnamon, brandy & whole cloves… ]. So when I discovered Kelly’s delicious pumpkin recipe I was more than excited to immerse myself in the Thanksgiving spirit.

After baking a bundle of these my Dad asked innocently “since they’re healthy can I have one for breakfast?” I told him no & that he needed to set his fourth cookie down.

Thanks to Kelly for this low calorie treat [ 89 calories a cookie ]!

  4. the cookies are really amazing and delicious . This coming from someone who has always loved cookies and can’t eat them. I have always had to eat “health food ” specialty markets brand of cookies. Always less then satisfying and really not yummy. These cookies are healthy, fresh tasting and really yummy, as an after meal eat treat or a starter to the day with an apple….two do the trick! Thank you skinny confidential.
