These are awesome! Made as written, using SmartBalance for the margarine. Delicious, soft and easy cookies. The wheat flour was a nice alternative to white flour and the Splenda and applesauce for regular sugar, came out with great flavor from the banana too. They do not spread out when baking so okay to place them close together on the cookie sheet. I didn't have to adjust cooking time/temp or any ingredients. Mine may have been smaller but this made about 40 cookies for me. Will be making these again soon! Thanks for the recipe.

A very soft, moist cookie. I did make changes, though. Used whole wheat pastry flour for the white flour, 1/3 cup mini choc chips, 1/2 cup oats & 1 1/2 mashed bananas. Delicious & low calorie; thank you for sharing.
