Make Cookies a Healthier Snack
A cookie break doesn’t have to be a “sneak away” episode in your diet. Add a healthy touch to this sweet snack and ensure that your cookie snack isn’t purely a calorie binge.
Adding a touch of “health” to your cookies doesn’t have to be flavorless or uninviting. A few sweet combinations can make a cookie a sweet and sensible snack choice.
Cranberry Oatmeal
Why leave an oatmeal cookie plain? Add a handful of dried cranberries to your oatmeal cookie batter and enjoy the taste of an extra serving of fruit, along with a sweet sharpness beyond the reach of the traditional purple raisin.
Dried Apricots
Sweet and mouth-wateringly good, dried apricots are great substitute in crumble-apart chocolate cookie dough — minus the chocolate, of course. Add a little coconut for extra sweetness if so desired.
Berry Surprise
Who needs molten chips? Add a handful of blueberries, raspberries, or another dried berry combination to your cookie dough. The sweet fruits will be a colorful and tasty alternative to the traditional cookie choices, while smacking of sweetness.
Enjoy a cookie and a little extra fruit at the same time by substituting a few ingredients in your favorite recipes. A few less chocolate chips and a few more berries will help you feel less guilty about your sweet snack and add a positive touch of fruit at the same time.
