The chocolate chip cookie is one of those "perfect" desserts: It's chewy, not overly sweet, and dotted with melted chocolate. What's not to like? OK, maybe all the sugar and processed ingredients. Try the following "new twist" on this classic for a healthier version that satisfies just as well.Other classics you'll find here include gingersnaps, oatmeal-raisin, peanut butter, and even a sugar cookie, but then there are also cookies made with kombucha tea, fresh pomegranate, mango lassi, granola, and matcha.Have fun playing around with the ingredients in these recipes, but for the baked cookies I recommend keeping the dry ingredient ratios the same. For example, if you're making the Almond-Mango Tangos but don't have any mango, you can replace it with an equal amount of a similarly sweet fruit, such as banana, peach, or papaya. For the Chewy Orange Bites, you could use lemon or grapefruit juice and zest instead of orange.The baked cookies are best stored in an airtight container on the counter, somewhere cool and dry, and eaten within a few days. Store the raw cookies in a container in the fridge for a few days, or freeze them for up to a few weeks – many of them are transformed into a creamy treat when frozen and allowed to thaw a bit. This is the way most of the taste-testers enjoyed them best!Leia mais
