Yes, applesauce is a great replacement for butter.
Thanks for these great recipes here I'm doing a post on low fat cookies and will link to this hub at http://cybercoolsnews.blogspot.com
yum.
Yummmy...I've tried one of your oatmeal cookies and...Okay, not just one.However, they're great. Looking forward for new ones. ;))
gud morning .i love comes with package of work . plz take a print out of this . i still say love u
Excellent hub - i should take a leaf out of your book and do some healthy recipes - these look great.
Oh my goodness, what a plethora of great ideas for oatmeal cookies. I'll have to try them all! Thanks so much for posting, I am officially drooling on my keyboard now!
And I thought that applesauce is just good for pancakes. Thanks for these fat-free oatmeal cookie recipes!
I'm printing these out and handing them to my wife. Looks like a great idea to keep me out of trouble at the doctor's office. I'm going to assume that the oatmeal makes them just as good as Cheerios for reducing your cholesterol ;-)
Hi, Maddie. I'm thinking of trying out your cookie recipes; I like that they're fat-free. I have one question though: Do these butter-free recipes taste as good as their "butter-full" counterparts? :-) I have to confess that I do like the creamy taste of butter, but I'm afraid my love handles don't like it too much. :-p
Hi Susan.
The texture of fat-free cookies is different than that of a full-fat, buttery one. If you've never had a fat-free cookie, you may want to experiment with using less applesauce, for example, and a little bit of butter the first few times you make them, until you become accustomed to the difference.
Enjoy!
Maddie
Come to think of it, I HAVE tasted a few commercially-made fat-free cookies. Some were okay and most were "tasteless". But I'll experiment with your homemade recipes nonetheless (if I ever get around to it - haha!). Thanks. :-)
Susan:
I much prefer homemade fat-free cookies to prepackaged ones. The ones in the store have to have preservatives in them, and can't possibly be as moist as fresh-baked cookies you whip up yourself. Also, the oatmeal in these recipes helps retain the moisture and improve the texture, while the spices ensure a flavorful cookie. Let me know if you end up trying them out!
Maddie
Sure thing. :-)
Throw in a glass of milk and I will be there!!
Wow, I love these cookie recipes!! They actually taste healthy and yummy! If you make the Brownie cookies, try putting them in the microwave for about 10 seconds each...they are warm and the chocolate melts! This with a glass of milk is absolutely wonderful!!!! Thank you so much for posting up these great recipes :) :)
I couldn't resist. I admit, I ate more than 3 cookies...
MMM, those cookies look positively amazing!!!
My husband and I love the brownie cookies and the pumpkin raisin cookies. We double the amount of cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
ewww ru?
JUST WONDERING IF U CAN ESTIMATE HOW MUCH POINTS THESE COOKIES WOULD BE WORTH ON WEIGHT WATCHERS? THEY SOUND AWESOME, JUST WANNA KNOW HOW MANY POINTS THEY ARE WORTH TO FIT THEM INTO THE PLAN?? :)
Well if you're on Weight Watchers maybe you should ixnay the cookies?? ;)
Hey guys.. while this recipe is delicious and healthy, I have to let you know that they're not fat free. Oats have fat in them. :( But still, the fat's alot lower than in most cookies!
Jess, you are right but oats are loaded with soluable fiber which is GREAT for cholesterol. I am so happy that I found these sophisticated and delicioius treats here -sent the link all over. Doubled the pumkin (wohoo, healthy enzymes!) recipe and added just over 3/4 cup of whole flax seeds and it was still delish. BTW - I know you guys are looking for fat free recipes, but do a little research on the EVCO (extra virgin coconut oil) - it's amazing and does NOT get processed as any other fat, so it also reduces calories and produces weight loss (which is why so many people look for fat-free recipes). I dropped 31 points bad cholesterol and 24 lbs in 6 months and will experiment with these awsome recipes too, just in case. Has anyone tried B grade maple syrup instead of the brown sugar? Don't get me wrong, these cookies rock - I've just laminated a clean print out of this page for a long term use. Thanks again for a great cookie post!

I love oatmeal cookies! I think I'll try the oatmeal ginger ones. I assume the applesauce or molasses is helping with the moisture in the cookies now that the butter's gone. :)
