Healthy Holiday Cookies!

December 8, 2008

Parties are a huge part of the holiday season but they can also create a lot of unnecessary waste. Try hosting a cookie swap where each guest brings a dozen of their own recipe for each guest. You’ll waste less because products can be purchased in bulk and made all in one day with the same utensils using the same hot oven!

When hosting, use Grandma’s china! When else is a good reason? May as well use it and show it off!Moreover, just think of all those paper plates that won’t be in the landfill!

Here are some holiday cookie recipes that are both delicious and nutricious! Courtesy of Good Housekeeping.

Almond Macaroon Fingers

Lemon Meringue Drops

Whole Wheat Sugar Cookies

Remember that the holidays don’t have to mean putting the pause on your healthy eating habits.  It just means trying new healthier versions of your standard recipes and sharing with friends and family - you might be surprised by their reaction! 

As always, Live Green!
