I love that these cookies are made with whole wheat flour. It makes them a little healthier than traditional cookies.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover fruit. I always have a bunch of fruit that's about to go bad, so I make these cookies to use it up.

I'm a professional baker and I can honestly say that these cookies are some of the best I've ever tasted. They're the perfect combination of chewy and crispy, and the flavor is out of this world.
