Lentil Cookies

I originally came across this recipe on a Mom's forum i was on several years ago.  It is a super yummy high protein and fiber snack thats great for kids and adults alike.  I have copied the recipe from food.com since i have long since lost my own copy.   If you click the link you can print it straight to recipe card size, which is great for me since my personal recipe book is a repurposed Photo book.
