Is there such a thing as a healthy cookie?

If so, do you have a recipe?  I'm DYING for cookies right now, but I know if I make the ones I want, I'll end up eating more than half of them, and that just won't help me lose this ass.

Please help a girl out.  Thank you.

    I make those pumpkin cookies that you posted about w/ low fat yogurt instead of oil and take the egg yolk out, only using the white. If I remember it right!

    Or you could make a half batch, freeze half the dough, only making a quarter of the recipie.

    this isnt healthy healthy but I think its better than regular cookies!

    I cup peanut butter

    1/2 cup sugar

    1/2 cup splenda (or you can do all sugar)

    1 tsp vanilla

    1 egg beater

    There is no butter or flour and lots of protein from the peanut butter! plus it takes like 5 min to make!!

    I mix it all up and put spoonfuls on ungreased cookie sheets for about 12  min (sometimes i add in some oats or choc chips!)

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

    I take the opposite approach. If I make a "healthy" cookie, I'll eat half of them by rationalizing that they are healthy, so it's ok. Plus, my craving isn't really satisfied, so I end up eating more of them. Instead, I make really rich ones that are exactly what I want. I can have just one, and then I can be done. Sending them to work with dh helps too :)

    I make some with oatmeal and cranberries/dried fruit.  There is only a stick of butter and very little flour.  The receipe is in a cookbook, but you could probably google similar ones.  It still has calories, but at least it has a lot of fiber and nutritional value.

    I make oatmeal raisin cookies.  the recipe is on the quaker oats box, but you can google it.  I think that they are pretty healthy for cookies and the oatmeal and raisins are good for you.
