Chocolate and peppermint are my absolute favorite flavor combination! And while I believe moderation in all things, I also think that if you can make a cookie healthier, but still feel like you are enjoying a delicious dessert, why wouldn’t you?! These delicious chocolate cookies are made healthier with beans and whole wheat flour, making them higher in protein and fiber and lower in calories!
