My sister-in-law, Lori, posted this recipe with what I call the low-fat version. She worked up the nutritional value on them without the frosting, and each cookie contains approximately 80 calories and 1 gm fat. They are super quick and easy, which makes them great for kids in the kitchen! The non-fat version has somewhat of the same consistency as an applesauce cookie and tastes wonderful...but be careful, because it's hard to stop at just one! I've also created my own "fattening" version, with the added ingredients in parentheses. It simply makes the cookies a little more dense and moist. Icing isn't necessary with either version...they taste great with or without!
