I am making these cookies for my grand children because they love to have sweet snacks, but I don't like they eat candies. So I decide to make this cookies because they contain little sugar and the chocolate drops are bitter but very tasteful.

Children love cookies and they don't have to be too sweet, but it is important that they don't feel disgruntled when they see other children eat them. I know parents want to protect children from illnesses, but sometimes they are too exagerated. There are foods that can be changed for other foods less harmful.

I always make cookies with nuts, seeds, chocolate, raisins,bananas, coconut, penauts and dates. I omit sweet toppings as a decoration. You can see that you can choose from a healthy list, and the children love them.
