I spent the morning racking my brain, scouring the internet and my cookbooks looking for some cookie recipes for my Xmas baking that would agree with the entire family's circumstances, be it Type 2 diabetes (my husband), Weight watchers (Me) or sweet junkies (my kids). I found none. I decided to invent a low fat, no sugar cookie recipe that Is weight watchers, kid and diabetes friendly. They turned out great! I like them, my kids like them and my husband likes and can actually eat them . :) I am calling them Happy cookies because they made us all happy.
Brown Sugar Happy Cookies
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 Tbsp. margarine or butter
1 egg & 2 egg whites
3/4 cup Splenda Brown sugar mix, packed
1 Tbsp cinnamon
3 cups of all purpose flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350 F. cream together margarine, applesauce and brown sugar. Add in cinnamon and eggs. Mix well.
In a large bowl combine flour, salt and baking powder. Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry mixture. Using hands, form into 2 equal balls.
Roll out to approximately 1 cm thickness. for maximum amount of cookies, I used mini cookie cutters. place on parchment lined cookie sheets and bake for 9-11 minutes. Test back one cookie to determine the exact time.
This recipe makes 120 mini cookies.
