I don’t know if these cookies are calorie free, exactly, but they are a healthier alternative. You can find more recipes like this on our blog, or you can also find them on our social media platforms as well.
My husband and I have been trying to watch what we eat and make healthier choices, but I can’t live without treats. I have a serious addiction to sugar.
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, and it’s a little less guilty tasting.

What could I use instead of chocolate chips?
I love these cookies as they are, however, it’s fun to switch them up a little and add a few addition ingredients.
This is especially fun if you have little ones in the kitchen, helping you make them.
You can add all sorts of add ins to these cookies and they will taste just as delicious, and are just as simple to make.
I have created a list of my favorite things to add to these cookies, to make them taste just slightly different, depending on the holiday, season, and flavor preference:
- White Chocolate Chips
- Peanut Butter Chips
- Butterscotch Chips
- M&M’s
- Pretzel Bits
- Coconut
- Nuts
- Orange Zest
- Raisins or Craisins
- Candy Bits
- Caramel
- Sea Salt

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!
