It looked really high to me too but there is 4.5 cups of flour and oatmeal in there too - this is recipe makes a lot. It's 27% fat, which is not extremely safe, but not too bad.
Littlethree, what matters is not the grams of fat but the % of calories from fat, which, according to Heather, should be no more than 25% for the whole meal to be IBS safe.
I plugged the recipe into FitDay, and if you divide the recipe, as written (using Smart Balance Light), into 48 cookies, per each cookie you have:
Calories: 66
Calories from fat: 27%
Fat: 2g
Sat: 0.5g
Poly: 0.5g
Mono: 1g
Carbs: 11g
Protein: 1g
Which is a little high - higher than Heather's 25% mark - but just by a bit... I wouldn't eat these cookies alone, but rather maybe after a low fat meal just to be safe.
It would affect the texture some, but if you subbed even just 1/8 cup of the margarine with the same amount of unsweetened applesauce you'd change it to 64 calories and 1.66g fat per cookie, which is only 23%, and which would be safer.
