WhoNu?™ Delicious and Nutritious Cookies


Cookies rich with calcium, iron and vitamins A, B, C, D and E. They also have 3 grams of fiber and a total of 20 essential vitamins and minerals. “Who knew a cookie could be so delicious and nutritious?” Someone wondered aloud. “Who knew? Hey, I kinda like the sound of that.” So they changed the spelling a bit, and the rest as they say, is cookie history. Now the cookie eating world is a much happier place, with parents and kids enjoying nutritious and delicious treats, and feeling good about it – no matter how the cookie crumbles.
