Favorite Things - March 29

I have a fondness for afternoon tea with a little snack to get me through to dinner. Cookies are a nice treat, but not always the most nutritionally sound indulgence. I was delighted then to come across these Peak Freans Selections Vanilla Bean Latte cookies.

I didn't have a lot of confidence that these would be good, but decided to try them since they were on sale. What a surprise - these taste great! Vanilla bean lattes are a particular weakness of mine, but one that I must shun when I go to my local coffee shop. I can not justify a drink that is equal to fat and calories to a Big Mac. Egads!! So in a far less harmful way, I get to enjoy the taste through these cookies.

At only 140 calories and 6 grams of fat per three cookies, this is a tasty treat that I can justify indulging in on occasion. To further lessen the guilt, I only help myself to two cookies. Seems like an all around winner to me!
