As you may have noticed, I’ve been a very bad blogger lately. Meaning, I haven’t been doing it at all. (Hopefully just a phase, friends.) But while I don’t have anything new to share today, I wanted to remind you about my five favorite heart-healthy holiday cookie recipes. All of these are equally as delicious as the usual buttery classics. In fact, I’m currently trying to organize an office cookie bake-off to prove this fact, but all of my co-workers are whining about being “bad bakers.” How you can have a problem baking something as simple as cookies, I’ll never understand. In any case, I might be competing against myself!

Linzer Macaroon Sandwich Cookies ^[1]. These are my absolute favorite. Gluten-free, too.

Vegan Molasses Ginger Cookies ^[2].  My friend David is obsessed with these cookies. In fact, I don’t think he ever makes any other cookie recipe. I’m sure he’s making them right now.

Vegan Chocolate Mint Cookies ^[3]. If you like Girl Scout thin mints but don’t care for the trans fats, these are for you. Warning, they are addictive.

Vegan Thumpbrint Cookies ^[4]. These are rich with walnuts and almond butter. Definitely not a low-calorie treat, but worth the splurge.

Vegan Cranberry Walnut Cookies ^[5]. The are straight from Eating Well magazine. They’re super sweet but the cranberries add a nice tang.

Happy Holidays, and happy cookie eating.
