Healthy Cookie Recipes

My daughter and I love to bake cookies. As soon as I pull out my cookbook and browse through my healthy cookie recipes, my daughter is standing by my feet asking to be my helper. And I think we both get equally excited about taking out the 1st batch and eating them while they are still warm. And of course who doesn't love licking the spoon after all the cookies have been made.

My other favorite part of baking cookies is making them healthy. That way my family can indulge in something sweet that is not full of overly processed ingredients and empty calories. It is my hope that the healthy cookie recipes that I have listed will help you enjoy doing the same. And I am always looking for new recipes to try out, so if you have one you would like to share, please use my contact form and send it to me.

As you can see below there are traditional cookies that I have made healthier, as well as new cookies that you may have never thought of before.

In a large mixing bowl blend together unrefined sugar, butter, applesauce, vanilla, egg, and baking soda. Set aside.
Place the bananas in a blender or food processor and puree. Add in the nut butter of our choice and blend until combined. Add the banana-nut butter mixture to the mixing bowl and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, oatmeal, raisins, carob or chocolate chips, and pecans. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix well.
Drop one full teaspoon at a time onto a greased cookie sheet.
