According to Keri Gans, nutritionist and author of the Small Change Diet, there are a few surefire ways to ensure that your vegan cookies are at least erring on the side of healthy. The first is to make certain that each cookie is approximately 150 calories per serving. It’s fairly easy to accomplish and you can still use natural sweeteners and vegan ingredients to cut down on the overall sugars.
Honestly, the best way to make sure that your cookies are on the healthier side is to make them yourself. There are literally thousands of recipes online for healthy, vegan, organic desserts, many of which will tell you how to substitute some of the sweeter, higher calorie ingredients for healthier alternatives. For example, this recipe for healthy chocolate chip cookies from the blog Veggiekins uses nutritious ingredients like almond butter, maple syrup, coconut sugar, flaxseeds, oat flour, and almond flour to replace butter, eggs, and white flour, making it just a bit healthier for you.
