A healthier honey cookie spread with Greek yogurt topped with fruits.

If you’ve been looking for a healthier cookie recipe to make for holiday, this is the best! They are awesome just on their own. But adding the yogurt and fruit makes them even better. The yogurt might sound odd, spreading on top of a cookie, but it adds creaminess and the fruit adds a little crunch. Honestly, this is probably one of my favourite snacks. You will love these!
