These cookies are pillowy soft and reminiscent of what many people feel is the best part of every muffin… the muffin top! These cookies are low fat, and sugar free - so these are muffins that you don't have to feel guilt for indulging. If you prefer, the applesauce can be replaced with vegan butter for a richer cookie, or mashed banana for a denser cookie. Any combination of these three (applesauce, mashed banana, or vegan butter) makes for a lovely cookie.
