Craving sweets but trying to lose weight? Snack healthy and satisfy your sweet tooth at the same time with this delicious cookie recipe!

The past few weeks I’ve been on a mission to eat healthier to manage my weight and lose a few pounds!

Yep – no more excuses, I’m getting serious! I overate during the holidays and wasn’t very active….. and boom!   Several pounds crept up on me!

So I’ve been riding our stationary bike, doing planks and lunges and making better food choices for my meals… but one thing I really struggle with is my sweet tooth! This girl here has a big one and it’s so hard for me to pass on dessert or the odd afternoon snack!  

Do you find it hard too? 

Here is a delicious and healthy cookie recipe your family will love!

Healthy Make-Ahead Apple Cranberry Icebox Cookies:

This is why I love these cookies:

 – They are healthy: made with Liquid egg whites and whole wheat flour

– They are delicious with naturally sweet chopped dried apple and dried cranberries

– They can be made ahead and frozen so I can whip up a batch even when I’m short on time! Which is always- ha!!

 This truly is a cookie you can enjoy without the guilt! 

Make these healthy apple cranberry icebox cookies as a food gift! Teacher gift, hostess gift and a neighbor gift idea.

100% liquid egg whites is a convenient, fat-free, cholesterol-free and low-calorie alternative to regular eggs!

They can be used in any recipe that calls for eggs.

Cookies will never be diet food, but they can be relatively healthy…especially when using whole-grain flour, cutting back on the sugar and adding fiber-rich dried fruit.

This cookie is so tasty no one will guess that they’re also better for you!

So go ahead – get healthy and satisfy your sweet tooth at the same time!

    I’ve never used All Whites – was worried they weren’t natural. But they sound really good for you. Thanks for the coupon!!

      Lei 50/50 butter blend is available at your grocery store and can be found with the butters – it tastes like butter but has less calories!! I love it!!

    If I can’t buy the Allwhite egg white ( in New Zealand) that is used in your recipe, would a whole egg or maybe two egg whiles be a good substitute?

      Hi Jo-Anne! I wouldn’t use a whole egg or add a yolk at all because it would affect the baking of the cookies. I would think that if you used the same amount of real egg white it would work! Put your egg whites in a measuring cup to get the same amount and you should be fine! Thanks for visiting and enjoy the cookies!
