Join us on Facebook and Twitter for our latest recipes and projects!My husband and I have been trying to watch what we eat and make healthier choices, but I can’t live without treats! These cookies were so tasty and only have 2 tablespoons of butter in the whole batch! They are lower in calories than the cookies we usually eat, but you never would have guessed by how delicious they were. We’ve got a new favorite cookie in our house!

Thank you!
I haven't tried it with Splenda! I had another reader say they were going to try it with Stevia so I'll have to let you know what they say!
I didn't notice a difference when using applesauce. They were really chewy, but didn't seem to have a cakey texture!
I am not familiar with Weight Watchers so I am not sure how the points would change. I am sorry I'm not more help! Thanks for stopping by!
