5 Healthy Christmas Cookie Recipes to Bake This Year

Nothing says Christmas like the smell of cookies baking in the oven, readying themselves for decorative additions: sprinkles, icing, chocolate swirls, you name it.

In my family, we host an annual cookie making event with our friends Snickerdoodle, Chocolate Chip and Sugar. As I get more health conscious, however, I'm finding it harder and harder to consume my creations. The dough becomes less appealing and my stomach aches for something a little less... heavy.

Luckily, my Aunt Diana made soup this year, so I filled up on broth and summer sausage before I even looked at any of the cookies. By that time, I was just full enough to get my taste of a chocolate dipped pretzel and call it quits.

But what if we still want to indulge in the many cookie eating, but fear the physical effects of hibernation?

Well have no fear! The "healthy cookie" exists!

I'm better at searching for great recipe-makers than I am baking, so I'll leave that to you guys.

Here are the best healthy christmas cookie recipes I could find! Ones that both you, Santa and the kids will love:
