Sorry you didn't like the cookies. The recipe says to use a tablespoon amount for each cookie - this keeps them from spreading out too much. Also, anytime you are cooking low fat, you have to use the non-stick spray because fat is what keeps things from sticking. If the cookies were overdone you could try turning down the oven - maybe down 25-50 degrees. Then keep your eye on the cookies so they don't over cook. I thought these tasted pretty good and so did my husband. Not exactly like cookies made with butter, but a good alternative. If you like the dough, then you could just eat the dough.
