Diet Cookie Recipe for Cave Bear Apricot Pecan Cookies

The low fat, low calorie original recipe from Thin Thin

You can go a little apricot while dieting and still lose weight!  

The key to losing weight is changing to a diet that is lower in calories and a diet that contains healthy benefits.

Dried apricots add sweetness to our diet cookie recipe without adding a lot of calories and fat.  

In turn, the use of Splenda in place of sugar saves a huge 800 calories; another good purpose of the use of apricots is that they allowed us to cut the amount of vegetable shortening used, in half.
