Sugar Free Cookies
15 Jan 2012
In an attempt to get to know our food better this year, Griff and I decided to forgo our traditional Mommy’s Best Chocolate Chip Cookies and try something a little more healthy. I stumbled across this Applesauce Cookie recipe on Delish.com. This is a great recipe and does not use any butter or sugar (it does contain nuts).
We substituted the raisins in the recipe with dried cranberries, it’s all I had in the cupboard.
I quickly put my sous chef to work measuring, mixing and creaming.
This is a tasty recipe and a great alternative to normal cookies. They are fluffy and tender with sweet blasts from the cranberries and hints of butter from the walnuts. They are not sweet cookies. They remind me a bit of scones, and are perfect with tea. I do think they are worth trying once.
Do you have any applesauce or sugar free cookie recipes?
Happy Baking!

I think the wee one here would love to give these a try.
I often take regular recipes, decrease the sugar [a lot], change the oil to applesauce or pureed prunes, add zucchini or yellow squash [no one ever knows] and change the white flour to mostly wheat. Of course, right now I am off of wheat completely,but my family still likes their cookies. :)
