In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, soda and salt and mix at low speed about 1/2 min to blend well. Add flour mixture and water to sugar mixture and mix at medium speed only until flour is moistened. Add bran mixture and mix at medium speed until well blended.

Remove from oven and let sit for 1 minute. Remove cookies to wire rack and cool to room temperature. (Author’s Note: These cookies, which provide 2 grams of dietary fiber each, aren’t terribly sweet. We like them this way, but if you prefer them sweeter, you can add 1 tbsp Weight Watchers dry substitute when adding the other sugars and this will not change the nutritive values.)
