 Some holiday sugar cookies have close to 200 calories each! Enjoying a couple of them won’t affect my healthy habits, but enjoying one too many can really add up. Here’s a lower calorie sugar cookie recipe that keeps the sweet treat’s delicious taste while lowering calories and fat. Each cookie has only 65 calories!

 

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 tbsp. butter, softened
