Tofu Almond Cookie Bars
"These protein-packed bars solve the breakfast problem for us by beingfilling but with a light texture for our not-yet-awake appetites. The recipe is from Tofu Quick and Easy by Louise Hagler, originally published by the Book Publishing Company, sort of associated with The Farm in Summertown, Tennessee. Can be made with butter rather than margarine."
