I had to add 1/3 c water to get the dough to a good consistency. I also substituted egg beaters for the egg.

A good substitute for butter in most baked goods is yogurt or apple sauce. I prefer non-fat vanilla yogurt. This will help to cut down on fat.

Honestly, some of you need to realize this recipe is not supposed to be completely healthy for you, but just a better alternative. If you have a sweet tooth you might as well indulge in one of these as oppose to a white flour cookie which is not processed as easily. Just enjoy, personally, I prefer this recipe rather than any white flour ones, just substitute stevia or truvia for the sugar and your saving yourself more calories and fat.
