I bought this recipe book when I really did not have the money to invest in recipe books. Now that I can buy the pricier books I find myself constantly returning to this old favorite. Very very good recipes. Lowfat goodies made with easy variations. I highly recommend it.

Ooh I just love this book. Every recipe sounds realy good and there's so little fat that it makes you feel less guilty indulging in the cookies. I've only just purchased the book and have tried one recipe so far the Chocolava cookie and it turned out great. This is a good book to have even if you are just trying to use up egg whites like I was after makng ice cream. A real contradiction I know. But I give this book 2 thumbs up.

My sister and I are health addicts-we are majoring in nutrition. We love to bake and cook healthy. Her cookies are as good as the high fat ones. My favorite so far is the Aaron's melt in your mouth peanut butter cookies. It is like eating rich, fudgy peanut butter. Her fruit bars are good as well. The instructions are written perfectly-I hardly make any adjustments. It comes out just like she says. The book is like my long lost friend that I have discovered. It is a miracle that she came up with these recipes. She must have tested them out and experimented many times. I give Julie 1000 thumbs up. I'll keep making cookies and sweet tasty desserts without feeling the guilt!

I bake a lot, and this is one of my favourite cookbooks. The recipes are straightforward, there's lots of variety, and every one I've tried has turned out wonderfully (and I have tried probably 30 or 40 of them!)

I always get requests for the recipe when I make things from this book, and people never guess that they're less-fattening versions. I have given a couple of copies of this book as gifts and they've been much appreciated.

This is my go-to cookbook whenever my family is in the mood for cookies or squares. We use it every week.

I don't know about you, but I can never just have one brownie or one cookie. Anyone who thinks they can is 1% of the population. This cookbook not only was inspirational (you MUST read about the author!) but it gave me things to snack on that didn't taste like cardboard! I have bought low fat cookies and treats from the store before and not only have they tasted like the sole of my shoe, the ingredient list was mostly things I've never heard of. Now I get to make low fat treats and I know EXACTLY what went into them. And I can have a second one if I want and know that I'm not setting myself back! The biscotti is unreal. I served it to someone who hates low fat anything and they argued with me for an hour that they could not be low fat. I have to be careful with my wheat intake so the peanut butter cookies are a god-sent! Wheat free! So many other, blondies...double chocolate goodness..too many to name. I'm impressed.
