Every year I am invited to a cookie exchange that the ladies who work at my husbands dental office put on, and every year it is a wonderful time but I leave with several dozen circles of butter and sugar and you can bet I eat my fair share of those.  This year I decided to go healthier and my goal was to eliminate unnecessary sugar and fat while still retaining great flavor and presentation.  In my search for such holiday treats I came across the following recipes that I will share with you today from fellow healthy food bloggers. So you now have my permission to have fun and bake up some of these delicious recipes, and then go on ahead and eat them without feeling guilty!  ‘Tis the season for cookies (I feel like that’s something Cookie Monster would say LOL)!!
