I got this recipe from a lady from my church (Ashley Cade). They are delicious and noone will ever know there are BEANS in their cookies. These are virtually fat free and very healthy. I made them today and am taking them to community group. We have a dietician in our group and I am very interested in what she has to say about them. If you make them, I would love to know what you think.

Thank you, Eryn. I have to try these. It may be a month or so before I get around to it, though. I love beans and finding ways to incorporate them into food.
