Low-Fat Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
"These came from a Pillsbury healthy baking cookbook. They make a small batch, so double if you're serving them to more than a couple of people. Also, the dough can get a little dry near the end sometimes. Adding a little bit of milk or chocolate liqueur will help loosen it up nicely."

These are good for low fat. I used tub margarine the low fat becel one. I also used the egg replacement. The no yoke fake egg stuff. They were easy to roll, flattened them out a bit with my hand and baked for 8 mins. No chocolate chips. Good! -
quick and yummy. dry dough, so i added a bit of milk. the flavor of the dough was too flour-y for my taste so i added 1/2 tsp of almond extract, which really helped but also didn't give too much flavor of its own. i used chocolate chips and flaked coconut because i was in the mood for it. delish. -
Excellent chocolate cookies! As suggested I added a second egg as mine were on the smaller side. I also used half wheat flour. I did use tub butter replacement (oil based) and added a small container of pureed prunes (baby food). Finally I added some walnuts! They were fabulous! Thank you for a great recipe! -
These totally satisfied my chocolate craving! I made them exactly as they are in the recipe. They dont really flatten upon cooking but were really good nonetheless. 2 were plenty to hold me over!!! -
These were actually pretty good. They were light and fluffy (maybe it was the type of cocoa powder i bought - swiss miss envelopes) and the melted chocolate chips were yummy. Unfortunately I ate them as I baked so I'll have to double the recipe. Thanks.

OMG, these are super good. To make them even healthier I used whole wheat flour and on the next batch I plan on trying plain no fat yogurt in place of butter.(i will let you know how that goes) I did find that the they were a little dry so I added another egg white and that made them just right. -
Used light butter, moistened the dough with some Kahlua, used white chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate... these are supposed to be part of the line up of sweets for a girls' weekend at the beach. I'm going to have to bake another batch because I just ate the majority of the first round. Yum-freakin-OH!!!!! I love these!!!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am, to be honest, somewhat intimidated by the community aspect of this site. I don't really wish to be overly involved in it. (Sorry.) I'm here because RecipeZaar allows me the chance to find a wide variety of excellent recipes, not to be social. For me, this site is a valuable resource... not a community.
I say this to explain why I might not be overly wordy in my information here, or in any reviews I might choose to post. Or why I might not choose to review much at all.
However, this is a community, so a little about me to get things kicked off. I am a computer programmer living in southern Indiana. In my spare time, I spend even more time on the computer, surfing the Web or coding Web sites. I also read, although I am not as quick at it as I used to be. I tend toward fantasy and science fiction, though lately I've taken a turn into nonfiction about ancient Greek religion.
When it comes to food, I cook because I have to. However, if I have to do it, I want it to be good. That's where RecipeZaar comes in.
