+These cookies are sooooo good. I did change a few things. I used the splenda brown sugar instead of regular light brown sugar. I only used egg whites and fat free milk. I did use the wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. Lastly, I am not a big fan of pecans so I went with walnuts. MMMmmm Yummmy!!!!
