Newshouse food blogger Riddley Gemperlein-Schirm spills her recipe for this delicious, low-sugar treat.

Some days, you need a cookie.  Sometimes I want a cookie that’s, dare I say it, healthy. A healthy cookie means you can eat one and not feel bad about it, or you could follow in my steps and eat three right off the baking sheet. Life’s about little pleasures, and cookies are one of them.

Try these fall dessert recipes that are better for the Earth — and for your health — than conventional candies.
