This recipe for low fat cranberry cookie is entirely my own creation.The trepidation that I felt as I initially mixed in the flour and all the other ingredients was replaced by joy when the cookies turned out perfect.These cookies are quick and simple to make and turned out to be very tasty and chewy,a good substitute for store bought cookies or traditional ones that tend to have more calories in them.In place of eggs and butter I have used unsweetened applesauce and corn oil and have reduced the sugar quite a bit and used honey to sweeten these cookies.The taste of the cookies was mildly sweet and I enjoyed them that way since I like my sweets a little on the milder side.
