No Flour, NO Sugar Cookie Recipe - Weight is coming OFF ?

Pin It

I've been working on my weight, doctor had a GOOD talk with me in December and I've been changing a LOT. My body, is changing too. I'm born and raised in Iowa, corn, meat and potatoes. Love my egg noodles, cakes and cookies. Not anymore, I'm shopping fresh markets now and going to wheat products if I eat them at all.

I found a cookie recipe on Pinterest If you'd like to follow me on Pinterest - HERE  

 I've learned to do each recipe two times, the way it's written and then my way,  No Flour, No Sugar

Press cookies down, they will NOT spread out,
