So now that the holidays are officially over, it's probably in everyone's best interest to think about eating healthier. I'm not saying that we need to stop eating cookies, but there are probably some healthier versions of the ones that we love out there. I've found a couple ideas of different cookies to try that still have the same great taste as their fattier counterparts.So give these recipes a try and let me know what you think.

What's Happening at the Bakeshop Today?
Today at the Johnson & Wales University Bakery Commissary, one of our supervisors was working diligently on some short dough cookies for one of our customers! I just thought I'd take some time to show everyone how these simple designs on a simple cookie would make an excellent gift for a loved one this holiday season. What's better than receiving a gift? I'd say receiving a gift that tastes great too! And they're just nice to look at. Another idea is to make these into edible ornaments. Just bake your cookies for a little longer and cut a circle out of the top as soon as they come out of the oven and let them fully cool down. Decorate your cookie and tie a ribbon into a bow through the hole in your cookie and there you have it, a beautiful ornament for your home!
I just don't recommend letting these sit out for too long because they may draw some unwanted guests into your house!

Holiday Cookie Ideas
Although many people may not like the quality of HERSHEY'S chocolate, I think that they did a great job with these holiday cookies. The simple, yet elegant techniques they used let them create very beautiful looking cookies. Short dough cookies always look the best in my eyes. You can take something so plain and turn it into a masterpiece. I also really like that they started from the beginning in this video, from rolling out the dough to putting the icing on and finishing the product. I found the idea of cutting some Twizzlers to be very creative and it gave theur cookies a very edgy look. That's the best things about holiday cookies. You can make them into anything you want them to be! Share your ideas below please!
