What\u2019s the only healthy cookie? An apple. But come on\u2014there\u2019s a sound neurochemical reason humans love sugar<\/a>, and we\u2019re all heartily in need of festive moments, be they iced, sprinkle-topped, or chock-full of chocolate. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Mmmmm, chocolate.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Okay, we\u2019re back. Gatherings may be discouraged, but the CDC has issued no warnings against baking. And if you turn some of that energy toward healthier cookie options, you\u2019re doing even more for your health while you stay safe at home.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Sub whole wheat<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>

Get your icing fix and some healthy fiber to boot. These decorated sugar cookies<\/a> use whole wheat flour and invite all the artistry you can muster.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Go gluten-free<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

With oats, applesauce, coconut, and banana, these cowboy cookies<\/a> are overachievers of healthy indulgence. Even with the chocolate chips.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Werde kreativ<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

Creativity is key when trying to limit calories in desserts. Tahini and chocolate play especially well together, and you get less fat than you would with a cream filling in these chocolate peppermint thumbprint cookies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Forget dairy<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

And get extra credit for replacing dairy with nuts, oats, and fruit in these vegan cranberry orange shortbread cookies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Do tradition one better<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
