Rather than doing 3 egg white, I did 2 whole eggs. Then I omitted one cup of chocolate chips to balance the fat from the yolks. The texture is wonderful in these cookies. I also tried them with splenda rather than sugar. They taste pretty good too! Probably 4 stars rather than 5, but still delish!

Substituted Bob's Red Mill egg replacer instead of egg whites. Also substituted carob chips instead of chocolate chips. It turned out great!! The texture isn't 100% like a full-fat cookie but I didn't expect it to be. These taste and look great. Will make them again!!!

Mine turned out more like muffin tops than cookies, with a cake-like consistency. They still tasted good through, and I suppose the texture is only a small sacrifice in exchange for all the fat that conventional cookies recipes contain!
