The “Under 100 Calories” series has been so popular with readers that I decided to publish a special holiday version.
Here are 27 holiday cookie recipes, all under 100 calories without sacrificing flavor or tasting like those unfortunate diet cookies they used to sell back in the 1990s. Not only are the following recipes lower in calories than their traditional counterparts, they are also much lower in sugar or sugar-free, many are gluten-free, and all are free of eggs.
Special diets or allergies should never force anyone to miss out on the holiday cookie season!
