I just wanted to comment on the (healthy!) part. These cookies are not even close to being healthy!! They contain refined flour and way too much sugar (corn syrup being the worst)!

these were a little work intensive, but well worth the effort. the entire batch was quickly devoured--kind of a melt in your mouth cookie. i did not add as many chocolate chips as was suggested, but beyond that followed the recipe to a t. thanks for the great cookies--this is a keeper.
