Here are some healthy, cancer-patient-friendly Christmas cookie ideas:

Oatmeal & Date Cookies:
These are naturally sweetened with dates, providing fiber and a rich flavor without refined sugar. Coconut oil can be used as a butter substitute.

Thumbprint Cookies:
Make these using “no sugar added” jams for a sweet, fruity center. The base can be made with whole-grain or almond flour for added nutrients.

Date, Walnut, and Dark Chocolate Cookies:
This recipe from the American Institute for Cancer Research is packed with plant-based goodness, offering a boost of antioxidants and omega-3s.

Ginger Molasses Cookies:
Opt for recipes that are refined sugar-free and use ingredients like almond or buckwheat flour for a healthy twist on a classic, stomach-soothing treat.

Oatmeal Banana Cookies:
Use mashed bananas and oats as the base, adding healthy
mix-ins like pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and ground flaxseeds for extra nutrients.

Almond Flour Cookies:
Simple recipes using almond flour offer an antioxidant boost and are often gluten-free.
