Anyone have a not so bad for you cookie recipe?

I would like to know the same thing because I like to bake and my kids and husband love cookies and I feel very deprived when they are eating them in front of me. I want to enjoy them to but if I'm going to lose the weight I need to I shouldn't.

I know its not the same but kills the craving for a cookie..I love snackwells, chocolate devils food cookies, i have 2 and its 100 cals and zero fat..

Black and White Cake Cookies

Yield: 2 dozen cookies (serving size: 1 cookie)

Ingredients
COOKIES:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup applesauce
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large egg whites

FROSTING:
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, divided
3 tablespoons 2% reduced-fat milk, divided
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°.

To prepare cookies, lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt, stirring with a whisk.

Place applesauce in a fine sieve; let stand 15 minutes.

Combine drained applesauce, granulated sugar, and butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed 2 minutes or until well blended. Beat in vanilla and egg whites. Add flour mixture; beat at low speed until blended.

Drop dough by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes or until set (not browned). Cool on pans 2 minutes or until firm. Remove from pans; cool completely on wire racks.

To prepare frosting, combine 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, and almond extract in a bowl, stirring well with a whisk until smooth. Working with 1 cookie at a time, hold cookie over bowl and spread about 1 teaspoon white frosting over half of cookie (scrape excess frosting from edges). Let stand 10 minutes or until frosting is set.

Combine 3/4 cup powdered sugar and cocoa in a bowl. Gradually add 2 tablespoons milk, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Working with 1 cookie at a time, hold cookie over bowl and spread about 1 teaspoon chocolate frosting over other half of cookie (scrape excess frosting from edges).

Bump again

Any meringue cookies are low fat BUT they are a little higher in sugar. Just make up the meringue (egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar) and flavour them with any extract (I like mint, with mini chocolate chips). Bake in a low heat oven for about an hour until they sound hollow. Remove and let cool....Without the chocolate chips, it's about 13 calories per cookie (2.8g of sugar each)
