Can anyone recommend a low fat cookie recipe (without peanut butter please!), or a low fat grocery store cookie? Thanks!!

I got these from Skinnytaste.com... But I make my own adjustments whenever I do make them for myself. Of course the cals, sugar...etc changes with adjustments

Ingredients:

1/2 cup granulated sugar (I use truvia up to u)
1/2 cup brown sugar ( I only use 1/4 cup)
2 tbsp butter, melted ( I use unsalted)
1 egg white
2 tbsp apple sauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup all purpose flour ( I use 1cup whole wheat only and eliminate this)
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips ( I use Dark chocolate chips)


Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°. Line two cookie sheets with non-stick silicone baking liners such as Silpats (I highly recommend for best results) or lightly spray cookie sheets with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt and stir to blend. In another bowl, whisk the sugars, butter, egg white, applesauce and vanilla together until light and fluffy. Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in two additions until the batter is very well blended. If the batter looks more “crumbly” than smooth, add just a drop of water at a time (ONLY if needed) until it smooths out.

Fold in chocolate chips.
Drop by level spoonfuls about 1 inch apart onto baking sheets.
Bake 8 - 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven, and let them
stand 5 minutes before removing the cookies from the pans to cool on wire racks.
