very good indeed for lower fat cookies. i halved the recipe. i used chopped toasted peanuts and the results were yummy. very chewy and the sweetness is just right with ONLY the brown sugar (for me anyway). thanks chris! posted a pic, by the way.

This recipe is great for a low fat cookie. My daughter loved them. I will continue to make these instead of the original chocolate chip cookies. Very easy to make.
