During our university years, if you asked us what kept us alive, we’d have to say that it was these power cookies along with large travel mugs of warm chai. This comforting snack was our ‘go to’ when we needed a big boost of energy during late study sessions at the library. Those who know us, know we only shared our beloved power cookie batch with close friends and family, and today we’re elated about finally sharing this RADNUT secret with you!
