Chewy, Spiced Brown Sugar Cookies

These cookies do not mess around.

They mean business.

They will hit your mouth hard (metaphorically speaking) with subtle spice and chewy texture.

How great is a big ole yummy cookie that is actually filling?

Pretty great, if you ask me.

This good looking, and whole grains to boot.

You just can't beat it.
