Have a cookie...or a book...or... @Liz Flaherty

One of the best parts--and the laaaargest parts--of the holiday season, is the baking and eating of cookies. Lots of cookies. This year, I am once again dancing with Weight Watchers as my partner, and the recipes below are Weight Watchers friendly, costing only two Smart Points per cookie. The bad part of it is that I haven't tried them. I'm so sorry to admit it, but it has so far been an eventful season and none of those events have involved baking. Sigh.

Anyway, these look delicious to me. I have borrowed these recipes from Weight Watchers.


Crackle Spice Drops

·         1/2 cup(s) reduced-calorie margarine, soft
