Skinny Mom Fact: Left over cookies can be placed in the refrigerator as they make delicious snacks for later.
How many cookies does this recipe make – it says 12 servings. How many cookies are in a serving?

sooo… 2 cookies = a carb serving? I am SO making these!
I wonder how coconut oil would work as a substitute for the margarine–thoughts?
I saw on another blog where someone used a banana in place of the butter. Haven’t tried it yet, but she seemed to have great success with it.
Wondering how much protein?
I wonder if it would make a difference if you left the coconut out? Does anyone know and have they tried it without?
