Back to School Chocolate Chip Cookies

Kristen O'Dell MS, RD, CDCES
Kristen O'Dell, a dietitian for Children with Diabetes, cherishes a tradition her mom started: welcoming her and her brother home on the first day of school with warm, comforting freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. This simple act of love became a cherished memory and now Kristen continues it with her own son. This classic chocolate chip cookie recipe (rainbow sprinkles optional) serves as a sweet reminder that diabetes doesn’t have to stand in the way of tradition—just remember to bolus!
