Is completely guilt free! 

Nice recipe Dorota. I particular like the fact that it is butter free. Of of my many quirks is that i've always had an aversion to butter. While I am able to eat it once it has been lost in a recipe, and not apparent when eating it, I never bake with it. If I don't know it's present then ok but I ain't baking with it.  

I may try these. Recipe and cookies look good!
