Blog Heart Healthy Lemon Sugar Cookies

Sometimes it's easier to enjoy foods when you ignore what's in them. But for those of us with health concerns that's not always a good idea. So if you need to limit the fat in your diet, does that mean you're left out of the fun of making rolled cookies? Of course not! Here's a recipe for cookies that you can enjoy with a clear conscience. Because it uses lower-fat substitutes for the butter and egg, the result is cookies with only about a third of the fat and saturated fat of regular rolled cookies, and no cholesterol. They're light, crisp, and lemony—perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. Bake them for someone you love, or try them for yourself. Your heart will thank you.

My favorite cookie cutters for Heart-Healthy Lemon Sugar Cookies are the Star Cookie Cutter, the Teapot Cookie Cutter, and the Dove Cookie Cutter.
