3 ingredient sugar cookies. Well, four, if you count sprinkles. There are three major ingredients in all cookie recipes: fat, sweetener, and flour. The fat (usually butter, but sometimes shortening or lard) adds moisture to the dough and helps the cookie brown as it bakes. The sugar not only sweetens the cookie, but it also tenderizes and helps the cookie maintain its soft, sugary bite. I love to bake and try out new recipes like this one.

After all, the ingredients that might make a cookie unhealthy are typically butter, sugar, or flour, but this recipe omits all three of those. When it comes to breakfast, I used to always think I was oatmeal, sweet bread, or a pancake kind of guy.
