Healthy Cookies

I found these cookies on fatfree.com (a disclaimer for I have not tried these but they do look good).

They look good (as good as low fat gets, I like butter). I thought some fat free recipes would be just the thing for starting off the new year. The only question is now, where do you find prune butter?
