Submitted by Kaykwilts

I have made these cookies twice and there are none left. LOL! Did not do so well at Weight Wathers those weeks. I usually do not change a recipe the first time I made it, but I wanted to make a more fat free cookie, yet have something sweet. So I substituted apple sauce for the butter, egg beaters for the egg, and the second time I made them left out the nuts. They turned out to be a very moist and soft cookie. I don't know what the calorie and fat count would be doing it this way. Maybe I will post it like this but give Kaykwilts the much deserved credit. Thank you for posting a wonder cookie recipe.
