LOW CALORIE AND FABULOUS PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



Low Calorie and Fabulous Peanut Butter Cookies image

I found this recipe in a Low Calorie cookbook that was written before Low Calorie was truly en vogue. I made these cookies last weekend and the whole family LOVED them. They stay soft, but are best right out of the oven. (They won't stay around long anyway!)

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.

LOWER CALORIE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



Lower Calorie Peanut Butter Cookies image

This recipe makes a small batch of dense, fudge-like and very peanut buttery cookies, but much lower in calories for those of us who try to be careful. I have always loved peanut butter, but I can't get on board with how greasy most peanut butter cookies are. As this recipe does not use butter, the cookies come out much less greasy, but without being dry. This will not produce a classic peanut butter cookie, so if that's what you're after, you'll come away disappointed. But it does make a very nice, thick-textured sweet treat for peanut butter lovers.
