Hey Joy you have a keeper! This cookie stays really moist. I made 1 batch with a choc cake mix and one with cherry chip. Choc was the best hands down. I will keep this recipe on hand for the times I need that little choc fix.Taste a lot like a brownie. Yes you do give up some flavor when you go low fat so don't expect this to be everybody's favorite.I used egg whites, did not have egg substitute on hand.Thanks Dula

Yummmm. I'm doing a personal pantry challenge right now, trying to use up what I have and not need to go to the store. But I still need to have lunchbox treats for the kids! I didn't have enough applesauce, but I did have a few jars of babyfood prunes and apples. Since I know those flavors go well with chocolate, I used a butter recipe fudge cake mix. Like Toni, I used just egg whites. But I must have had huge eggs since 3 egg whites was just over a 1/2 cup. Mine needed to cook just a bit longer, and I got a lot more (36 cookies) out of the batter. These will be great for lunchboxes. And I still have another chocolate cake mix and more prunes... hum. I might need to make more later this week! Thanks.

Great cookie and you don't know it's made with applesauce. (I always substitute applesauce for oil in any baking recipe I can) I didn't have any chips or nuts on hand but next time I'm throwing some of those in. These would make great cookies for ice cream sandwiches. I got 28 good-sized cookies out of this. Thanks! So easy!
