More of my favorite healthy holiday cookies are Dark Chocolate Oatmeal Lace Cookies, Skinny No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies, Nutella Almond Butter Cookies, and my classic favorite best low fat Chocolate Chip Cookies.

These are the perfect cookies to add to your holiday baking. I even love making a Pumpkin Spiced Snickerdoodles version for during the Fall season!

I absolutely loved these cookies which I adapted from Cooking Light magazine. I swapped the flour for white whole wheat and the corn syrup for agave and they turned out too darn good if you know what I mean!

When I was in DC a few months ago, I met Matthew Petersen, the executive Pastry Chef of CityZen and Sou’Wester at the Mandarin Oriental and “chef’testant” on Bravo’s Top Chef Just Desserts, and he was a huge fan of King Arthur flour. I’ve been using it since and always love the results.
