Soft, decorate-able sugar cookies made with whole wheat and maple syrup instead of refined sugar; chill dough, roll, cut, bake 8–10 minutes, then ice.
There are quite a few ways to make healthy ingredients feel like dessert, and dates are a prime example. Dates, which are like prunes with a better reputation, are the secret to creating sweet smoothies, ice creams, and even faux candy bars without using granulated sugar. Because dates are high in natural sugars and soften when added to liquid, they can be used to sweeten almost anything, and they can also be eaten as-is for a uniquely chewy snack.
