Healthy-Ish Chewy No-Bake Cookies

I modified my favorite no-bake cookie recipe, hoping to make it a little healthier and diet-friendly. I reduced the fat and used 1 cup fructose instead of 2 cups of sugar. A nice side effect of this was that fructose tends to make foods moister than table sugar, and I ended up with a chewy no-bake (I don't like the dryness of tradtional no-bakes) So, if you want a healthier cookie or just a chewier cookie, this is it!
