Healthy Cookie Recipes - Use Your Creativity

There are plenty of Healthy Cookie Recipes and most of them imply that you do not use butter, milk, eggs or sugar for preparing those cookies. However, you should use some sort of fat, sweetener and flavor instead of milk, sugar and eggs to prepare tasty and delicious cookies. For example, agave nectar can be well used as a sweetener for healthy cookies. Almond, cashew, or peanut butter can be used instead of butter for making the cookie nutritious. For flavor, vanilla, ground cinnamon or crushed anise seeds can be used.

In fact, one does not need any specific recipe for making delicious healthy cookies. You can use most of the ingredients that you have on hand. One of the simplest list of ingredients for preparing the delicious healthy cookies would be: 4 cups of nuts, 1 cup of nut butter, 1 cup organic brown rice flour, 1 tablespoon of vanilla or even almond extract, one teaspoon of cinnamon, 3/4 cups of agave nectar, 1 teaspoon of some spice and salt. Using these ingredients or some other variation of them would lead you to produce very nice and tasty healthy cookies.

The main thing with respect to Healthy Cookie Recipes is to be creative and imaginative. You can, indeed, come up with many self made recipes and variations. There are two main things which are common to all those recipes and which are worth to remember: firstly, try to use a low oven temperature all the time. Set the temperature at 300-325 degrees and let the cookies stay in the oven for about 8-10 minutes until the bottoms become brown. Secondly, as long as you do not include eggs in the cookies, you won't have to bake them completely. A slightly under-baked interior of the cookies would be perfect. This way the cookies will meet your expectations with regard to quality, healthiness, taste and appearance.
