Recipe: Fat Free Oatmeal Cookies (using applesauce, no eggs) and Fat Free Chewy Chocolate Cookies (using egg whites)

Here are two recipes I collected. Not entirely "fat-free" as the fat is in the chocolate.

FAT FREE OATMEAL COOKIES

1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup rolled oats, uncooked
1/2 cup raisins, chocolate chips and/or chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In medium bowl, stir together sugars and applesauce.

Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Stir into applesauce mixture. Add oats. Add raisins, chocolate chips and/or nuts. Stir until combined. Drop by teaspoonful onto greased cookie sheet.

Bake 10 minutes. Cool slightly before removing from sheet.

Supposedly makes 24 cookies but I never get that many.
