Cookie Recipes for Santa

Carrots for Kris Kringle? While some argue that Santa’s round belly and love of sugary treats sends an unhealthy message to kids, I’m sticking with tradition. To me, it’s not Christmas Eve without a plate of cookies and a glass of milk (organic, please!) left near the tree. After all, if you can’t enjoy a few sweets during the most festive time of year, when can you? Fortunately, this year Santa can have his cookies and eat them too. Check out these better-for-you recipes:

• Super Sugar Cookies are loaded with fiber from whole wheat flour, plus protein and healthy fat from almonds.
• Sugar Plums are sweetened with dried fruit and agave nectar, so Santa’s (or your) blood sugar won’t spike.
• Peppermint Meringue Snowballs are made light and fluffy with egg whites. Best of all, they’re gluten-free and low in fat.
