Spooky Pritikin Cookies
These Halloween cookies are pretty amazing because they have absolutely no butter or margarine, but lots of wonderful cookie-style chewiness. Sure, they’re not Oreos, but pop one in your mouth when you’re craving a cookie (or a Snickers Bar Halloween night), and they just might do the trick!
