These are delicious when using flavored applesauce such as strawberry. I made these this past Christmas and they were a huge hit with the family.

These cookies are delicious! My 8 year old and I made these. I didn't have any margarine, so I used butter. I'd like to try them again with margarine. Thanks for the great recipe! I just made these again to have some for Santa Clause. They made up quickly. This time I used maragine as called for and they came out great! Thanks again!

You gotta love a low-fat but delicious chocolate cookie! I made these for a Christmas party so I could enjoy a few treats while still staying on track with my WW points. While they are a tad drier than a more traditional fudge cookie, they are still moist and delicious. Even the kids loved them! You do need to make them rather small to keep them 1-point size. My mouth AND waistline thank you for sharing this recipe!!! :)
