Directions
| 1) Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease two baking sheets. Or line with parchment, and grease the parchment. (Or use Crisco spray for parchment) |
| 2) Stir together all of the ingredients till smooth. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl, and stir again till smooth. |
| 3) Drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets in balls about the size of ping pong balls, about 1 1/2"; a tablespoon cookie scoop works well here. |
| 4) Bake the cookies for 8 minutes; they should spread, become somewhat shiny, and develop faintly crackly tops. |
| 5) Remove the cookies from the oven, and allow them to cool right on the pan. |
| 6) Yield: 16 large (3") cookies. |

Tips from their bakers
- Want to make more, smaller cookies? Drop the dough in 1 1/8" balls (about 2 measuring teaspoonfuls) onto the baking sheets; a level teaspoon cookie scoop works well here. You'll make about forty 2 1/4" cookies.
- Add up to 2 cups of chocolate chips or diced walnuts to the batter. You'll lose the cookies' "no added fat" attribute, but make some very tasty cookies. With 2 cups of add-ins, you'll make about 24 large cookies, or 48 smaller cookies. Note: For larger cookies with add-ins, increase the baking time by 2 minutes, to a total of 10 minutes.
