| New Year's Resolution to eat better. But I love sweets- cookies, chocolate etc. Anyone have any good recs in the cookie aisle of whole food that is not too crap for me? THanks. |
| Not in the cookie isle, but I LOVE their gingerbread. Plus, you can cut a generous piece and it's not as dense as a cookie...so less guilt! |

I used to get the meringue cookies there. About 20 calories, fat free. I haven't seen them in a while, though. Mini chocolate chip was my favorite.

| I'm probably deluding myself that it is healthy (only is by comparison), but I really love their molasses cookies. I think they are vegan, so at least there isn't butter in them. |
| Chocolate babka |
| Not in the cookie aisle, but I love dark chocolate covered almonds sold at TJs--I'm sure something similar is available at WFs. |
|
Bethesda Co-op has chocolate covered cherries and chocolate covered ginger, both amazing. Insanely, stupidly expensive, though.
Not a very sophisticated suggestion but I like Nature's Path pop tarts at Whole Foods. |
| This isn't in the cookie aisle, but if you're really serious about eating better, I would recommend frozen mango chunks from trader joes or whole foods. I'm trying to lose weight and this is the only treat I will allow myself during the week after dinner, and now I love it. It satisfies my verrrry big sweet tooth, and just feels very refreshing and light. I'm more relaxed about treats during the weekend. |
| Ohhh, skip the cookie aisle and get one of those Lake Champlain individual chocolate chunk bars...the granola is the best plus it's full of antioxidants! |

I suggest that you buy the cookies you like best but limit yourself to ONE per night. Now if only I could do this ...
I love frozen chocolate ice pops like fudgesicles which are pretty low in calories and fat. |
| Not a cookie, but I love mango sorbet. |
| Best treat you can have that is beneficial to your health is dark chocolate. It has less sugar too, which translates to less fat being stored in your body. |

Chocolate chip cranberry ciabatta roll. I thought I was buying a raisin pecan roll and accidentally bought that instead. It was heavenly! A sweet treat but not buttery or decadent.
