MY LOWER FAT MARTIAN COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• With a mixer blend the butter and applesauce. Add the sugars and the Splenda and beat well. It will never get fluffy and it might have little specks of butter in with the applesauce. This is just fine.
• Add the egg whites and the vanilla and mix well.
• Add the 2 flours, the cinnamon, the baking soda, and the salt. Using the low setting on the mixer blend in the flour.
• Using a spoon add the oatmeal, zucchini, and chips. (I ran out of chocolate and used more butterscotch. Use what you would like to end up with 2 cups of chips).
• Drop onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes or until they are starting to brown.
