About Save The Crumbs Cookies™
THE WHOLE CRUNCH:
When my friend Linda was having health issues, she was craving a crunchy cookie that would not interfere with her diet and taste good at the same time. I developed a recipe for Biscotti with a minimal amount of sugar that she called ‘her lifesaver’. Shortly after her healing, I hurt my back and could not stand for long periods of time, the Biscotti and other cookies became my therapy.
Friends and family became the recipients of my ‘physical cookie making therapy’. Biscotti by biscotti, cookie by cookie, friends and family loved what I was making. One day, I was cutting the Biscotti and there were lovely crumbs all over the cutting board. My friend Lisa asked for the chopped crumbs and nuts and put them in her yogurt.. VOILA!
Arlo, my beautiful Havanese was watching me test new flavor combinations, as I was talking to him asking what he thought about the Pistachio Mango Biscotti, I distinctly heard "What about ME?" He was right! Dogscotti™ (doggie biscotti) was born and he has been the lucky recipient of all my doggie trial bakes.
Today we put the crumbs in yogurt, ice cream, shakes, chocolate milk and use them for salad toppings!
