"Healthier" Christmas Cookies

Selecting Christmas cookie recipes is a challenge for me because members of my extended family have dietary restrictions due to food allergies, health problems, diets, etc.

So far, I've decided to make flourless almond cookies, cranberry- pistachio meringues, and peanut butter blossoms (flourless PB cookies with a dark chocolate kiss) for my gluten-free, wheat-free family members.

Any other suggestions for "healthier" cookies or treats? By that I mean cookies having less fat and sugar than most cookies. I'm not a fan of fat-free or sugar-free baking. I do prefer to use butter and/or oil over margarine/shortening. I also avoid any type of sugar substitutes including Splenda.
