Here are some other things you should know:

• You can use 1 tablespoon butter instead of a combination of butter & applesauce, or you can use 1 tablespoon applesauce.
  • If you use all butter, the calories and fat in the cookie will increase but will taste more like a regular chocolate chip cookie
  • If you use all applesauce, the calories and fat will decrease but it will have a more cake-like texture {fluffier}. This will also make the cookie dairy free and vegan
• If you don't have flax meal, you can use 1 teaspoon egg.
• You can use gluten-free flour in place of the white whole wheat flour for a gluten-free cookie
• I didn't have brown sugar but wanted to post the recipe anyway, so my cookie has a combination of Splenda and regular granulated sugar {white sugar}. Brown sugar is much better but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do to get the recipe on the blog.
• You can use 1 teaspoon Splenda and 1 ½ teaspoon brown sugar for less sugar. Or use all brown sugar.
