I love this sugar cookie recipe that I made healthier by exchanging some butter with non-fat plain yogurt. They still taste great and I feel a lot better about eating so many!

Beat butter, yogurt, and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add egg allowing it to blend into butter mixture. Beat in vanilla extract. Mix in flour mixture until just incorporated. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place 2-inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.

Chocolate-Cran-Oat Cookies
A chewy chocolate mix with dried cranberries - a holiday treat! I prefer to use white whole wheat flour because it's not as heavy as regular whole wheat flour.
Apple Bread with Double Streusel
This apple strudel bread is the most delicious bread I have ever tasted. It is so unique because it has streusel on both the top and the bottom. The apples are shredded, which makes the bread very moist. Be prepared because everyone will ask you for the recipe!
Cream Cheese Biscuits
These cream cheese biscuits are tender, fluffy, and slightly sweet, with a hint of tangy buttermilk, and they are very delicious.
