Cookie Bars Recipes

If you crave the Girl Scouts' Samoas cookies, this recipe provides an alternative with fewer calories, fat and sugar per serving than the original.

A nutty cookie base is covered with chocolate date paste and topped with chopped nuts and shredded coconut. A decadent treat with no refined flour or sugar.

Not quite a granola bar, but not a cookie either...just plain tasty! And healthy to boot. Gotta try these!

Quick & easy, healthier chocolate chip cookie recipe option!

These cookies are almost half the fat and 1/4 less sugar. The applesauce makes them moist and reduces the butter needed. They are under 200 calories and tasty! Enjoy some almost guilt free cookies!

Virtually no fat in these cruelty-free, low-sugar treats :)

I really wanted to make these but wanted to get the nutritional breakdown on them so I added them here at spark!

Substituted the Vanilla Pure Protein Whey powder for Flour.

Gooey, very chewy and over the top delicious - that's what these bars are made of! The parchment is really a good idea with this recipe, I guess greased foil would work but you need to take the bars out of the pan to cut them.

Could be a meal replacement.

Splenda reduces the calories, but using real cranberries elevates the taste. A great cookie bar for the holidays.

I wanted to make something healthy for my kids without alot of extra :junk". These are so yummy they really didn't last through the night!!! They are a little fluffy, hence the cookie in the title and you can adjust that texture by not adding as much applesauce. I just wanted a little extra sweet!

for a fix with protein and low cab

Oatmeal, nutritional yeast, flax meal, healthy fats and protein help support lactation and these bars make a great snack for pregnant and new moms. They are tasty enough for dads and kids too, and they won't even know they are high in fiber and low in sugar.

I've discovered a liking for pumpkin and am now trying all sorts of things with it. These cookie bars are from a pouch with all sorts of goodies thrown in. YUM!
