Friday.

You know what I love about Friday? Currently, I am multi-tasking studying for a psych mid-term I have on Tuesday, sipping a cup of coffee, diligently keeping an eye on my leftover biscuit crisping up in the oven, and listening to Annabelle snore, all while writing this post. And you know what? Because it's Friday...I don't even care. I feel absolutely in the zone, but out of the zone, as if I am focused, but with no stress. Ugh...is this even real life? Yep. 

Well, today calls for a healthy cookie. Let's talk about my favorite spice, shall we? Ummmm cinnamon, duh. I absolutely love cinnamon, on my coffee, in my peanut butter (yep, in my peanut butter), on my chicken (yep, on my chicken...more about that later), oh and sprinkled on my Greek yogurt. That's what's up. 
















Oh, and I love it in my cookies. With a banana, maybe. 

Healthy Cinnamon Banana Cookies. Do It. 

Because it's Friday, have a margarita :)

4. Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten the dough with a fork, making a criss-cross shape on the cookie.

  1. Anything with coffee! And, what a great recipe to have with coffee! I'd find studying worthwhile, too, when munching on these lovelies!
