The first edition of One Smart Cookie sold over 25,000 copies. Now this winning cookbook, with a new look and new recipes, will continue to satisfy cravings for rich cookies, brownies, squares and biscotti. These recipes have less fat but all the flavor you’d expect from full-fat cookies. Author Julie Van Rosendaal has fine-tuned her already popular recipes and added some new ones, along with updated information on fats, fiber and various ingredients.

One Smart Cookie contains 300 recipes, including such delicious treats as:

  • Chocolate, pecan and olive oil wafers
  • Multigrain shortbread
  • Parisian almond sandwich macaroons
  • Rugelach
  • Cheesecake brownies
  • Pecan pie squares
  • Nanaimo bars.

As well, there’s advice on how to trim the fat and calories from your own favorite recipes without sacrificing flavor. These treats aren’t just healthy alternatives. They’re the real thing.

About the author

Julie Van Rosendaal was an avid cook as early as age three. When her father, known for his insatiable sweet tooth, found out he had high cholesterol, Julie took her expertise in the kitchen and began creating healthier and low fat recipes for cookies and sweets. After spending years doing research and experimenting in the kitchen, Julie developed a knack for taking recipes of foods that she craved, typically high in fat, and creating a healthier version. At the same time, she realized that dieting was silly and began to live on her own terms. She simply cooked and ate healthier versions of the foods she loved. In addition to giving her ideas for health-conscious cookbooks (which would eventually become bestsellers), this change in lifestyle led Julie to lose 165 pounds—a testament to the effectiveness and practicality of her recipes and food philosophy. Quickly the demand for her delicious low fat recipes became so great that she opened her own low fat bakery in Calgary, Alberta. With the great success of this bakery, Julie decided to share her low fat recipes with the world—in One Smart Cookie, among other cookbooks. Referred to as the “queen of the skinny sweet” and the “poster girl for low fat cooking,” Julie is in high demand for her knowledge and expertise. She has appeared on numerous television and radio shows, led many cooking demonstrations across North America, and regularly contributes to newspapers and magazines.
