I found this recipe in a Weight Watchers cookbook. They kept me going the last time I dieted. It is a good combination of sweet and not very many calories to ease those cravings.. I call them Diet Cookies. Of course this makes the kids go eewww. Which is a good thing, more for me. Except this time the kids tasted them and found out that they were really good. Kody ate one and commented on how it was all right....then five later he said, "These are addicting." So yes even though they are low calorie I still have to be careful not to eat the whole batch. With Kody's metabolism..he could eat a whole batch. So not fair!!

Yield: Approximately 12 servings
I usually double or triple the batch.
*You can also add food coloring to make them more festive.
I love these!! And since I'm trying to be "good", I will have to whip up a batch when I'm craving the sweet! :)
ReplyDeleteI make these and use splenda in them.
ReplyDeleteHey... I just made meringue hearts today. We think alike.
ReplyDeleteThose look great! Thanks for linking your post to TMTT.
ReplyDeleteIt was out of an old Weight Watchers Cookbook before they did the point system. My guess based on the nutrients is about 1 point for each cookie.
