2. Chewy Honey Lemon Cookies
This recipe called for a lot of extra sugar, but did you know honey is a healthier substitute for granulated sugar? This recipe may not be the healthiest option on this list, but I can never resist including lemon in one of my recipes! Moderation is key here.
Optional: for a bit of extra sweetness, combine honey and lemon to create a light glaze. Drizzle over cookies once cooled.

4. Peanut Butter Banana Cookies
In my personal opinion, bananas and peanut butter go together just as well as peanut butter and jelly. It just so happens that bananas offer a great alternative to eggs when baking, particularly for those of you with food allergies or vegan preferences.

5. No-Bake Chocolate Oat Cookies
These are by far my favourite on this list! With no baking required, these are the easiest cookies I have ever made for the delicious macaroon inspired flavour they provide.
