Healthy Spritz Cookie Recipe

December 9, 2013 By Vanessa Rae Romero

Healthy Spritz Cookie Recipe

Spritz cookies are my Dad's favorite Christmas cookie. I love it when I can still make family favorites into healthy treats by just simply swapping out a few unhealthy ingredients. This Healthy Spritz Cookie Recipe is the perfect example.

For my healthy spritz cookie recipe, instead of all-purpose flour I used nutrient-dense almond flour along with a bit of unmodified potato starch to make these gluten-free. Traditional spritz cookie recipes call for butter, which we know is a healthy fat, but I swapped it out for ghee to avoid the milk proteins (I'm allergic). Finally instead of regular white sugar I replaced it with my recommended all-natural sugar-free sweeteners.

Voila! A healthy spritz cookie recipe is born.

DID YOU KNOW…A large-scale, 30-year long study found that people who regularly ate one ounce of nuts at least seven times per week were 20 percent less likely to die for any reason, compared to those who avoided nuts in their diet. Eating nuts at least five times a week corresponded to a 29 percent reduction in mortality risk due to heart disease; a 24 percent reduction for respiratory disease; and an 11 percent reduction for cancer.

Tonight I had a conversation with my dad about his experiences with racism. He told me a story about being afraid to hold my mom’s hand in public when they were newly married in 1969. When she died in December 2015, he was still holding her hand. 💜

HAPPY SUNDAY...I don’t know about you, but I’ve been feeling increasingly unsettled. When I ask God, what can I do to make a difference, what I’ve heard over and over, is to just keep showing up. So that’s what I do. You might not think you matter, but I promise you do!!! 💜
