Notes
*Unsweetened applesauce - Can be subbed for an equal amount of low-fat butter or pumpkin puree but the calories, taste and texture will differ.
*0 calorie brown sugar - can be subbed for any 0 calorie sweetener but be mindful of the conversion. The sweetener I used has a 1:1 ratio of sweetener to sugar.
Do not bake this cookie dough - This cookie dough is not made to be baked. The lack of fat and leavening agent will produce a flat and dense cookie!
Microwave the flour - To make this cookie dough in just 5 minutes, microwave the flour in 30 second spurts until it registers at 74°C (165°F). This should take about 3 minutes (dependent on the microwave though)!
Use powdered sweetener - If you don't mind the grittiness of the sugar in cookie dough, then granulated sweetener is fine to use! If you want a smoother texture, I would recommend powdered sweetener! If you don't like the grit of granulated sweetener in cookie dough, powdered sweetener is the perfect alternative!
