EatingWell magazine's contest for healthy cookie recipes
While you may be making plans for a summertime vacation, in the EatingWell Test Kitchen they're getting ready for the holidays—and they need your favorite cookie recipes.
They're looking for delectable and healthy holiday cookie recipes for publication in their November/December 2007 issue. Take one of your favorites and give it a little makeover (see Healthy Cookie Guidelines below). They'll bake them up in their Test Kitchen and select one grand-prize winner and five runners-up.
Prizes: Each of the six finalists will receive The EatingWell Healthy in a Hurry Cookbook, EatingWell Serves Two Cookbook, a year’s subscription to EatingWell Magazine and an EatingWell apron.
The grand prize winner will also receive $500 cash!
Deadline: Submit your recipe by June 1, 2007 directly to the Test Kitchen using the simple online form. All recipes are automatically entered into the contest. Winners will be notified by September 15, 2007.
Healthy Cookie Guidelines:
- Replace as much of the all-purpose flour as possible with whole grains, such as whole-wheat flour, white whole-wheat flour or oats.
- EatingWell recipes do not use margarine or other partially hydrogenated oils. Reduce the amount of saturated fat in the recipe by substituting canola or nut oils for some of the butter in the original recipe.
- Limit salt in recipes to ½ teaspoon or less per batch.
- Use all sweeteners (white and brown sugar, honey, etc.) judiciously; less is better.
- Steer away from ingredients containing artificial color or flavor. (Use natural versions whenever possible.)
Congratulations to our 2006 Winners! See their recipes here.
