Pretty good cookies. I used 1 cup apple butter even though the ingredient list says 3/4 cup because the top instructions say to reduce to 3/4 cup if you use butter. I used white wheat flour and egg beaters. Instead of fruit I used chocolate chips. I realize that adds fat, but I feel better adding chocolate to things that are not already full of fat! These don't spread but are nice and chewy. A good lunchbox cookie. Thanks.

Hello! I am a student at UC Berkeley currently studying political science/economy and French. I am interested in the state of labor reform in Western European countries.
I love to travel...but with the weakening dollar I have had to make do with living in Berkeley for the time being...although it has not been bad at all! I live just a few blocks from Chez Panisse (hopefully I will go someday...)and there are so many different cuisines here that I want to try! I most recently had Tibetan and Burmese food, yum!
I am almost 100% converted to organic and environmentally friendly products...stop buying plastic bottles, bring your own bags to stores, reduce waste!
