12 Healthy Christmas Cookies you can make this holiday

Need some healthy Christmas cookies to bring to your next holiday party? These cookies are not only delicious, but also good for you.

The holidays are officially here! It’s mid-November, and I’m already thinking about the Sunday afternoons spent in the kitchen baking Christmas cookies with my family.

I get so much joy out of making treats for holiday parties and neighbor gifts. But, at the same time, I don’t want to eat cookies and feel sick after. That’s why, HEALTHY Christmas cookies are my solution! (check out 7 ways to not overeat this holiday season!)
