Cookies. They are lightly sweetened.

 

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour

1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

1 cup applesauce

2 egg whites

1 1/2 tsps. baking soda

1 tsp. cream of tartar

1 1/2 tsp. almond extract

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 2 cookie sheets with nonfat cooking spray.

Combine the flour, confectioners' sugar, applesauce, egg whites, baking soda,

cream of tartar, and almond extract in a medium bowl; mix well. Drop by

rounded teaspoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets. Flatten each piece of

dough with your hands. Bake the cookies for 7 to 8 minutes or until golden

brown.

sprinkle with colored sugar before baking.

I am curious about what would happen to a recipe if you cut the butter down a

bit or even by half. I know it would depend on the recipe, I was thinking like

for cookies, and is there any substitue for that to cut calories??
