    Wow, thanks everyone for your responses! I tried a recipe on chocolate covered Katie. http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/08/24/peanut-butter-cookie-dough-cookies/

    they are very good, but the recipe made six cookies at 120 calories a piece. Its nice there is a small amount of cookies, so you can't eat a ton of them. Its mostly PB and raisins so I can justify one of these cookies here and there.

    Bake as normal... eat smaller portions.

    This is what I do! :)
    Nothing better than the real thing, no substitutes for me! :)

    You might consider ordering some carbquick. I just used 16 grams of it, 1/2 boiled egg, 1 Eckrich breakfast sausage and a bit of water to make it into a patty. Baked 6 minutes in a 450 degree convestion oven. Put a half teaspoon of sugar free syrup over it.
    Yummy. Carbquick has a lot of recipes available.. and no I don't work for them just was happy to find a product to bake with.

    I like taking my favorite recipes and making them a little healthier.

    Using dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
    Apple sauce instead of oil.
    Flax seed meal instead of eggs.
    Sugar substitute instead of white sugar.
    Different, healthier flours instead of AP flour.
    Adding in powdered proteins.

    Just experiment and have fun with it.

    Me too! I do a lot of half batches and freeze anything beyond a couple days allotment for the family -- freezing more if I am going to be home those days.
