I was surprised by how good this recipe was even though I made it more low fat. In place of butter I used applesauce, and then I left out the yolk and doubled the whites. I also used white chocolate chunks. Nothing was said about spraying the sheet, but I would definitely do so. The cookies really stuck where I missed spraying. So good! Thanks
