Made for my holiday cookie tray and it couldn't be easier. Not too sweet and pretty much guilt-free! They were a nice complement to the other cookies. Thanks for sharing. Made for Newest Zaar Tag Game.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
