Santa has hit jackpot cookie heaven
Santa loves diversity! There are many other delightful cookies beyond the chocolate chip cookie. Are you ready to explore 25 countries in pursuit of the perfect cookie? We sure are. The holiday season is a time for spending with family in the kitchen and the kids love to take part in the baking festivities. If you are looking for a safe no bake activity to do with the kids, be sure to try our No Bake Cranberry Bliss balls.
Moderation, not deprivation
80% of the time we strive to eat healthy. Because we are human, the other 20% falls under eating in moderation. Go ahead and eat that cookie. The constant rebound of restricting food and then binging plays havoc on your body. It is much better to have a cookie occasionally, then to deprive yourself, feel sorry for yourself and then just eat the whole darn batch of cookies in one sitting. Take one cookie and savor each bite. Then you are done. If temptation plays a role, give the rest as gifts and store in the freezer out of temptations way.
Gluten-Free, Vegan, Paleo and Dairy Free Cookies too!
We have listed these 60 cookie recipes from around the world in alphabetical order corresponding to country. In addition, we have included dietary information about the recipe to let you know if a cookie is vegan, gluten-free, paleo or dairy free. Healthy World Cuisine has teamed up with a group of very talented foodie influencers to bring to you this delightful list of 60 Cookies from around the World.
