Nutritious Almond-Walnut Cookies

Kids love cookies. But getting healthy, nutritious cookies for them, is a challenge.  This is my all time favorite cookie recipe. You can substitute any nut for almonds and walnuts. But I like this combination. So I?m sharing this recipe with you. Hope you like it too.
