When you're forced to adhere to a low sodium diet, it can be shocking--I never realized how many high sodium foods we consume, especially baked goods. Hain No Sodium Baking Powder has been a lifesaver for me. I take existing recipes and experiment with substitutions for both salt and baking soda until something works well. These cookies have become essential treats for John and me!
