The secret ingredient is the applesauce! The applesauce replaces the butter and eggs which are ingredients often found in basic cookie recipes. This helps cut the calories and fat and also keep the cookies moist. One cookie contains less than 60 calories and only 0.4 g of fat! And for added benefit these cookies are also vegan friendly.
