Diet Cookie Recipe for Cave Bear Cranberry Nut Cookies

The low fat, low calorie original recipe from Thin Thin's Caveman Diet Plan

The addition of cranberries to this luscious diet cookie recipe adds moistness and a hint of the wild. Cookies are best enjoyed after they have been allowed to cool.

To Prepare: Mix wet ingredients with shortening; add cranberries & nuts; slowly add flour as last ingredient. Add more flour if necessary to form a pliable dough.  Shape and bake at 350 degrees until cookies are set. Remove and allow cookies to cool. Entire batch contains about 550-600 calories.  

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