R.O.D.-Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I am having a Splenda HouseParty soon and this recipe came from their site.  I am posting their original recipe, which is better for us than a cookie made with pure sugar, then I "Re-Made" the recipe, changing most of the butter into applesauce and using pure Splenda instead of the "Splenda Sugar Blend".  I'm not sure how the texture will be affected, and you could always play around with the ratio of Splenda to sugar if it is not right.  The Splenda Sugar Blend is 50/50.

You could also use a bit of almond flour to cut the carbs, but I would not substitute it for ALL of the flour.

I also would not eat these every day, but they might satisfy that craving in a healthier way........
