    When I get a craving for cookies I eat Nature's Valley Oats and Honey granola bars with a glass of milk. I dunk the granola bar in milk to make it soft, and to me its just like eating milk and cookies.

    Sorry! no recipes here! Gave in to my craving this weekend because I bought stuff at a bake sale that was supporting our local children's hospital. Not a good thing - the baked goods that is! lol. The were selling wal-mart bags full for $5! Of course I HAD to support them. Some of it was great. Other stuff not so great. But I have thrown it away now so the temptation is no longer there.

    peanut butter cookies

    Ingredients

    1 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy(i use all natural organic peanut butter personally)
    1 1/3 cups baking sugar replacement (recommended: Splenda)
    1 egg
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Directions

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a large baking sheet.

    In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, 1 cup sugar replacement, the egg, and vanilla, and stir well with a spoon. Roll the dough into balls the size of walnuts. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet. With a fork, dipped in sugar replacement to prevent sticking, press a crisscross design on each cookie. Bake for 12 minutes, remove from the oven, and sprinkle the cookies with some of the remaining sugar replacement. Cool slightly before removing from pan.

    i dont sprinkle the splenda on top though the are sweet enough.

    Keep a bag of Newton's Cranberry Cirtus thin cookies - it stops the craving for home made. One serving is 3 cookies -140 calories, made from whole grain and they taste pretty good

    Make your oatmeal cookies but use applesauce for half the fat. Make a few for yourself then let the dog lick out the bowl :)
    Works at my house LOL since we have a Newfoundland.

    Skinny Low-fat Chocolate Chip Cookies
    Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes
    Servings: 12 • Size: 2 cookies • Old Points: 4 pts • Points+: 5 pts
    Calories: 170.7 • Fat: 5.0 g • Protein: 1.4 g • Carb: 34.5 g • Fiber: 1.4 g • Sugar: 25.4 g
    Sodium: 113.1 mg

    Ingredients:
    1/2 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 cup brown sugar
    2 tbsp butter, melted
    1 egg white
    2 tbsp apple sauce
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
    1/2 cup all purpose flour
    1/4 tsp baking soda
    1/8 tsp salt
    1/2 cup mini 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.


    Makes 2 dozen cookies

    Sweet and Salty Peanut Chocolate Chunk Cookies
    Coarse-grained sea salt does not melt into the batter, so you experience a crunchy burst with every bite. Use any other nut you like in place of peanuts.Wow - these are good! I took the advice of a couple of reviewers - 1. doubled the nuts/choc chips 2. 1/2'd the sugars 3. doubled the recipe Delicious!


    YIELD: 38 cookies (serving size: 1 cookie)
    COURSE: Desserts, Cookies
    Ingredients

    1/2 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 cup packed brown sugar
    1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 large egg
    1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
    1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
    Cooking spray
    Preparation

    Preheat oven to 350°.

    Place nuts in a small baking pan. Bake at 350° for 8 minutes or until lightly toasted; cool.

    Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda, stirring well with a whisk.

    Place sugars and butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 2 minutes). Add vanilla and egg; beat until combined. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture; beat at low speed until well blended. Stir in peanuts, chocolate chips, and salt.

    Love this recipe - and if you replace the butter with coconut oil (which I've done and it works great) then it is no butter, no granulated sugar, and no white flour. It's awesome! I usually keep these always on-hand.

    My-sweet craving has nearly disappeared. Good luck!

    I know it sounds horrible, but the best way to get rid of the craving.. just have a cookie. If you go without it you're going to feel like your diet really a DIET... then you're gonna fall off your horse! It's better to treat yourself every once in a while and give yourself what you're wanting. Plus, every now and again a day full of bad eating is good to help confuse your body, but don't do it for more than three days!

    Honestly I would just suggest making cookie doughs, rolling them in parchment and freezing them. That way when ever you feel like a cookie you can take out the roll, slice it and make a cookie or two for yourself without making an entire batch to taunt you. It works nicely too if you have a kitchen scale so you can see how large your portion is and find the nutrition facts later.
