There are plenty of recipes
I make fat-free pancakes.
Fat-free chocolate cake.
and fat-free cookies
they all turn out nicely but cookies do not flatten of course
but they are still good
You would need to use fat-free milk and egg whites for these recipes (I buy plain egg whites from the store so I don't have to deal with the eggs)

Fat Free Whole Wheat Pancakes
INGREDIENTS
1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
<1/4 cup liquid egg whites
1 1/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons brown sugar

DIRECTIONS
Mix flour and baking powder, and set aside. Mix egg whites, milk, brown sugar and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture until just moistened.
Spray a skillet with cooking spray and heat the skillet. Pour approximately 1/3 cup batter into pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbly (about 1 1/2) minutes. Turn, and continue cooking until golden brown.

Whole Wheat Gingersnaps
INGREDIENTS
* ? cup applesauce
* 1/2 cup white sugar

* ? cup milk
* 2 cups whole wheat flour
* 1/2 tablespoon baking soda
* 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the applesauce and sugar until smooth. Mix in the eggs, and then the molasses. Combine the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice, heaping the measures if you like a lot of spice. Stir the dry ingredients into the molasses mixture just until blended.
3. Roll the dough into small balls, and dip the top of each ball into the remaining white sugar. Place the cookies about 2 inches apart on the cookie sheets.
4. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops are cracked. Bake longer for crispy cookies, less time for chewy cookies. Cool on wire racks.
