Chocolate Butter Cookies (Healthier version)

I wanted to make some butter cookies that were on the healthier side. These cookies are softer and chewier compared to a traditional crispier butter cookie.
Equipment
- 2 inch cookies cutters
- KitchenAid standing mixer
Notes -
- Substituted butter for unsweetened apple sauce
- Substituted all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour
- Substituted white sugar with Truvia
Yields - a soft, chewier, denser cookie

Healthy Little Peanut Butter Cookies Healthy Little Peanut Butter Cookies
I wanted to buy peanut cookies, but it was raining freaking hard, hence resorted to home-baking. This is easy, flourless, low in sugar level cookies. If you have sweet tooth, you may consider level up your sugar to 7 tablespoons. The aroma of ground cinnamon can spice up your appetite as well. Don't forget to run after consuming it;) Although it's quite healthy, but still... You know :D Sautta S.S. -

Low fat peanut butter cookies Low fat peanut butter cookies
I took a recipe I found online and reduced the peanut butter by half, then added nonfat milk to make up the difference in liquids.My recipe made 14 cookies with 2.3 grams of fat per cookie. They are not as rich tasting or attractive as regular peanut butter cookies but I enjoyed them.It’s also not too sweet—if you want a sweeter cookie you could use more maple syrup in place of some of the milk.This is my first time making these so if you have any ideas or suggestions for improvements please let me know! wgreen39
