I love cookies! Hands down, they’re my favorite dessert.
People’s jaws, including a few of my co-worker’s, hit the floor when I say that. How could I, a dietitian, love something so inherently unhealthy—and (gasp!) eat them too?
Well, I do! But I like to keep my cookie needs in check—and not waste a day’s worth of calories fulfilling a craving—so I often turn to EatingWell’s cookie collection [7] to find something satisfying, but not loaded with calories.
Here are my 5 favorite diet-friendly cookies (that don’t taste one bit diet-friendly). They’re all 100 calories—or less—so you can indulge without breaking the calorie bank.
Almond & Honey-Butter Cookies (94 calories per cookie) [8]
Boot Tracks (63 calories per cookie) [9]
Yummy Molasses Crackles (79 calories per cookie) [10]
Pineapple Coconut Bites (101 calories per cookie) [11]
Dark Chocolate Meringue Drops (28 calories per cookie) [12]
How do you satisfy your sweet tooth without breaking the calorie bank? Tell us what you think below.
