Recipe Makeovers: Low-Cal Holiday Cookies

Christmas Wreaths cookies
Miki Duisterhof
 
We took our favorite holiday cookies recipes and sent them to our Healthy Test Kitchen for a makeover. The challenge: Keep each cookie's yummy taste while lowering fat and calories. The result: sweet success!

Christmas Wreaths

Test-Kitchen Fixes: Reduced butter by a third, added cream cheese as a butter substitute, replaced half of flour with white whole wheat flour.

Healthy Savings: We cut 18 calories and 3g fat; added 1g protein and 1g fiber.

New Nutrition Facts: 184 calories, 2g protein, 18g carbohydrate, 11g fat (7g saturated) 1g fiber
