You’re reading this right–a HEALTHY cookie! This recipe, created by Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone to keep his energy up while filming the Rocky series, is from Stallone’s weight loss book Sly Moves. It’s packed with good-for-you starches like oats and whole wheat and brown rice flours, and uses olive oil instead of butter for fat. Try this delicious treat as a pre-workout snack for that extra energy boost. If the cookie is too plain for you, add raisins, dried cranberries, or chopped nuts.
