Skinny Cowboy Cookies

Submitted by tullius

"Cowboy cookies is a family recipe that I've adapted. Reduced sugar, fat & eggs have reduced the calorie content. I've also used whole wheat flour & added flax seed to increase the fiber content. I make them as mini cookies so you feel like you're getting more. This makes a very small batch, 38 cookies will fit on 2 sheets."
