You can try most standard recipes, replacing the oil with applesauce.

Below is a great low fat, sugar free recipe from Janet Warringtons cookbook "Sweet and Natural" that my husband and I really like.

In large mixing bowl combine dry ingredients (flours, baking soda, salt, spices). Add raisins. Mash banana in blender with egg, dates and vanilla until of uniform consistency. Pour blender misture into bowl and mix well. Drop by teaspoonful onto cookie sheet. (No need to grease sheet if you use a good quality non stick. No spread either)

Bake 10 minutes in preheated 350 F oven. Toothpick should come out clean.

Store in fridge in airtight container. They freeze well. ( Taste great frosted with fat free cream cheese frosting, too).

Prep time: 30 minutes (including baking time)

Yield:small batch... about 20 - 25 cookies
