We all love holiday cookies, but often feel guilty about indulging in this high caloric treat. This cranberry-nut chocolate chip cookie is so scrumptious – you won’t even realize they’re made with whole wheat flour, and packed with oats and omega-rich walnuts. Even better – what if I told you they’re only 76 calories per cookie! That’s right this recipe is not only decadent and delicious, but also very healthy compared to their holiday cookie counterparts!
