If ever there was a time to share a cookbook packed with healthy cookies, it’s now. From the middle of October until January 1st, we’re bombarded with decadent treats that do our weight and immune system no good.
Why not indulge in a holiday treat (or three…) and then appease your sweet tooth with a Super Healthy Cookie?
I’ve been hoarding this gem of a book for quite some time now. I know, it’s not fair of me to do such a thing. But I wanted to make sure I’d tried a good sampling of the recipes before sharing them with you.
First, though, let’s talk about these cookie dough squares. They are the perfect healthy treat. The dough is very much like a traditional raw cookie dough, without the eggs and sugar shock. Since these don’t require an oven, they’re no-fuss. Just mix, press, freeze, and cut. With just a little sweetener and lots of healthy fats, I was thrilled to see Nate snack on these mid-afternoon. And, I didn’t mind popping a few in my mouth either.

When you browse through Super Healthy Cookies, you quickly see that all of Hallie’s cookie recipes use whole-foods based ingredients. You’ll find that she calls for walnuts, sesame seeds, coconut flour, almond milk, Medjool dates, figs, unsweetened applesauce, spices. They’re all ingredients you’d commonly find here at Simply Sugar & Gluten-Free.
Aside from Hallie’s Cookie Dough Squares, I’ve also made her:
- Sunflower Brownie Freezer Treats
- Maple Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
- Apple Carrot Quinoa Balls
Since the holidays are coming up, I’m going to try her Pumpkin Bars with Oatmeal Pecan Crust.
