The trick to keeping the fat level low in these cookies is to use PB2 powder and make the cookies small. The icing on top is important to intensify the flavor.
This recipe will make 18 small cookies.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (f).
Ingredients:
4 ounces unsweetened applesauce
5 tablespoons date sugar
3/4 cup PB2 peanut butter powder
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tbsp egg replacement powder plus 2 tbsp water, beat until frothy
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Raw sugar for rolling, plus a dash of salt
Stir all ingredients together until just combined, don't over mix.
Roll each rounded spoonful of dough in a plate of sugar (add a dash of salt to the sugar before rolling). Press dough flat with tines of a fork if you like the traditional look. If you don't press flat, the cookies will bake as shown in the blog photo. Bake 10 minutes, cool on wire rack. Drizzle with icing.

This recipe sounds amazing! Now tell me the truth--would you make them again? Is it worth the cooking time. I do swear by PB2.
