Hello Faith Spot family.  I would like to suggest to those of you who are trying the recipes as is, but would like a healthier snack to cut down on some of the ingredients a bit.  I am trying to take on healthier foods and find it a little hard to transition.  Therefore, what I have been doing with my snacks or desserts from scratch is cutting down on the butter and sugar.  What I have found out is that the end product is just as good as the original recipe.  So, depending on your taste buds you may want to gradually cut down on the sugar and/or butter however you see fit.  With the Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies, I only use one stick of butter (you may want to cut down a little more) and with the sugar, I use the majority of brown sugar and very little white sugar.  Try it and taste for yourself.

Sincerely,

A bona fide dessert snacking woman
