Maria, I haven't tried that but I think it would work. The reason I left that small amount of vegan butter in there was so they'd have a smoother texture. Also, if you want to make them even lower-fat, just use more applesauce or a prune puree instead of the margarine.

I was wondering if I could substitude the butter for the becel pro-activ plant sterols margarine? Its very low in fat but I don't know if it would make the cookies difficult to work with....

The butter is easier to cream if its room temp. I pulled mine out of the fridge for the video and it only took a few minutes to soften. Sure, you can use all-purpose flour if you like. We use whole-wheat pastry flour because it has a similar texture, but will help fill you up more from the fiber. I hope you enjoy them!

A couple questions? First, what temperature butter? Room temp? Also, can we substitute all purpose flour for the wheat flour without having to add or take away anything? Thanks in advance!
