Replacing refined, poor quality ingredients can convert the unhealthiest baked goods into healthy delights you can feel good about eating, without compromising on taste! 1. Don’t substitute margarine for butter. Margarine is NOT a food. Cheap, poor quality vegetable oils, such as corn, cottonseed, soybeans, safflower seeds and canola are used for the ingredients. These oils have already turned rancid from being extracted from oil seeds using high temperature and high pressure. Rancid oils are loaded with free radicals that cause cell damage, premature aging and a host of other problems. The difference in ingredients says it all! 2. Replace refined sugars. Refined sugar is 99% sucrose, a simple carbohydrate that is sure to spike your blood sugar and leave you with a terrible crash. Unrefined sugars taste sweeter on the tongue than granulated sugar, which means that you can use less to sweeten a batch of cookies than you would refined sugar. Some great alternatives are honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, agave nectar & molasses. 3. Replace refined flours. These refined flours are completely stripped from any sort of nutrients, and are often bleached.

Ditch Secret Santa this year, and have a cookie swap with your
girlfriends. It’s a great inexpensive way to spend some quality time
with the gals while trying some new delicious recipes. Invite a group
of friends over and have each person make enough of one kind of
cookie to share, along with the recipe of the cookie that they made.
At the party, sample the treats, then trade and package them in
appealing assortments. Everyone leaves with finished gifts, and
plenty of new recipes.
What is a cookie swap?
