Yes!: There are tons of ways to make cookies/cakes that are healthier than "traditional"! Replacing oil with applesauce, using almond flour instead of white flour, adding black beans or veggie purees to brownies, etc!It can be trial and error-in the beginning you may want to "google" healthy or gluten free version of what you want and try a recipe that is suggested.As you get used to it, experiment!

Ingredients: Hi. Use whole grain flour instead of white, use less sugar, and incorporate nuts or seeds. They're REALLY GOOD that way, by the way! :-) Salud!

Sweet as: Easy as, cut down the sugar, whole wheat flour, use oats. Butter will be better the margarine. Add raisins and nuts.
