Finnish Rye Cookies
Looking for a new type of cookie to bake this weekend? Maybe a cookie that is a little more on the healthy side, than those sugar cookies you consumed way too many of during the holiday season?

Rye Flour can be found at a specialty store, like a Whole Foods, or you can also purchase online from Bob’s Red Mill.
