Peanut Butter Cookies (Low Cal, Low Fat, High Taste!)

The cookies use unsweetened applesauce instead of oil or butter thus keeping them ultra low in fat! Great for those who are trying to reduce both fats and calories.... but crave fresh baked goods! Simple to prepare.

I liked these. Mind you, I didn't have any sugar substitute, so I used golden caster sugar, no doubt eliminating much of the low calorie feature! I made 20 cookies from the mix and the cookies joined up a bit in the oven, so I think I should have made 24. I found the dough was a bit like marzipan paste to work with and not gooey at all. I cooked them for about 12 minutes until the outside edges were becoming darker. Mine are crisp on the edges and outside and chewy in the centre. Thank you for posting this recipe - the cookies are quick and easy to make and delicious!Reply

Too cake-like... Needs more crisp like a normal cookie. Wonder how to achieve that?Reply

The batter was too gooey to roll into balls, I used 2 teaspoons. The cookies turned out decent, not the prettiest but taste good.Reply
