to wire rack and cool to room temperature. Author’s Note: These cookies,
which provide 2 grams of dietary fiber each, aren’t terribly sweet. We like
them this way, but if you prefer them sweeter, you can add 1 tbsp Weight
Watchers dry substitute when adding the other sugars and this will not
change the nutritive values. Nutritive Value per cookie: Food Exchange per
