So I’m happy to share these vegan Coconut Snow Cookies from Healthful Pursuit in our Christmas Cookie Exchange; they look as tasty as they are pretty, and they’re full of surprisingly nutritious ingredients.

It’s hard to believe that they’re gluten-free, but these chewy peppermint cookies don’t contain any wheat (and not even the peppermint crunch baking chips have a trace of gluten in them, so you won’t have to spend loads of time researching for ingredient replacements, either). Katie of Dashing Dish has even tallied the calorie count and Weight Watchers points for her recipe (83 calories and 2pp per cookie, if you must know). Good luck keeping these around until Christmas… More

Come over for brunch someday and I’ll show you that healthy baking doesn’t have to suck. More
