We love you Berry Much

For Valentines this year I wanted to send out a healthy treat to our family.  I tried making fruit leather but cooked it on wax paper and it wouldn't come off of it.  It was too bad because it was really good from what I could taste of it. I made a little note to go with it that said "We love you Berry much" so I new I wanted to do something with berries in it.  I was really excited when I came accross these Cherry Almond Cookies from Sunday Baker.  I made these with dried cranberries instead of cherries and thought they were very good. The recipe only made about 10 cookies so I ended up making it again and doubling it.  Here is the doubled version which should made about 20 cookies.

Cranberry Almond Cookies

2/3 cup almonds (I used sliced)

2/3 cup granulated sugar

1 1/3 cup dried cranberries

1 1/3 cup WHITE WHOLE WHEAT flour

4 Tbsp unsweetened applesauce

1/3 cup egg whites

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp almond extract

dash of salt

Heat oven to 350 and spray a cookie sheet.

Pulse almonds and sugar in a food processor until the almonds are ground into a course texture.

  Put into seperate bowl.  Put dried cranberries into food processor and chop up a little. Pour the cranberries with the almond and sugar mixture. Then add the flour and salt if desired.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix together.

Form the dough into 20 balls and cook on cookie sheet for atleast 20 minutes or until center of cookies are cooked through. 

There sre 3 WWPP.  I apoligize because I figured out the nutritional information on these and then it got deleted off my computer but I do  know for sure that if your serving is 20 cookies then they are 3 points plus each.
