Attention: Chocoholics! Recipe found for awesome lower cal c

So yesterday I posted a peanut butter cookie recipe I found and some people indicated they were looking for a chocolate chip cookie recipe. For those who were looking here they are!!!! If you make the recipe of the bag of Nestle Tollhouse miniature morsels, its 104 calories, 5.4g fat, 13.6g carbs, and 6.8g. of sugar per cookie.

So this recipe saves you 30 calories and has almost half the fat.


This recipe I found on www.chef2cheft.net. The exact link for this recipe is
recipes.chef2chef.net/receipe-archive/30-166142.shtml

They taste like the real thing!! I love them. And FYI, I tried to substitute the margarine out and use applesauce instead. They tasted really cakey and the applesauce was overwhelming. They didn't taste right. I tried them tonight using the margarine as the original recipe called for--it was perfect! And if you use margarine, it's I think 10 more calories than it would have been if you used applesauce. My suggestion is use margarine. Once again, it’s not my recipe. I am just passing it on because I know how hard it can be to find tasty yet healthier cookie recipes.
