Christmas Cookie Recipes #TuesdayTip

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas all over so it’s time to think about some holiday baking! My fried Kathy makes the most delicious walnut crescent cookies every Christmas and we look forward to them every year. My other friend Jayne, a regular at our holiday table, also brings tasty cookie treats for our Christmas Eve dessert. So today I’m sharing some links to Christmas cookies you might like to try for the holidays! Just paste and copy the links into your browser!**

**Why no active links? Well, Google is punishing sites with broken links and with third party sites changing up content, it’s really hard not to have broken live links. Since I’ve been dinged by Google (and with over 6000 links it’s no wonder), I’ve got a link checker working on cleaning things up, but thought I’d avoid the issue by not having hyperlinks in the posts.

Christmas Cookie Countdown & How to make them healthier #TuesdayTip #HealthyLiving #Recipe

I’m not really a baker, but I love cookies and cakes! Especially cookies. This time of year is both glorious and difficult since I’m sticking to my goal of eating healthier, but those Christmas cookies and treats are so so tempting.

Today’s tip is simple: A link to the awesome Betty Crocker Christmas Cookie Countdown. If you can’t find a cookie that you’ll like on there . . . Well, I don’t know what to say to that.

As for me, I’ll try a couple of these when I have more time and I think I’ll try making some of them healthier with some substitutions. For example, you can substitute a can of diet soda or seltzer in brownie and cake mixes instead of the oil and eggs. Applesauce and mashed bananas can be used as well in lieu of the oil for some cakes, brownies and cookies. You can click here for The Ultimate Guide to Healthier Baking infographic which has a number of other substitutions you can make for healthier eating.

Coconut Oil has also become one of those things to have handy and use as a substitute for butter. Click here for the 10 Best Sugar Cookie Recipes Using Coconut Oil!
