Healthier Edible Cookie Dough

One of the mindsets I have adopted in my life is the 80/20 rule. This means that 80% of the time, you are eating foods that are made with whole and natural ingredients, and 20% of the time you are living your life. Eat foods that make you happy to create a sustainable balance and healthy lifestyle long-term., but sometimes it is great to have a mix of the two, which is where this recipe comes in. I am the first to admit that I have a sweet tooth, so I created this recipe to be both healthy and delicious.
