Chocolate Chip Cookies (From Cooking Light)

Submitted by LonghornMama

"These yummy cookies have a wonderful texture and just the right amount of chocolate chips. Just as good, if not better than, the ones full of fat and calories. One of the "Greatest Hits" in Cooking Light's June 2007 issue."

Thank u so much for sharing this recipe. This is like a cross between the Nestle choc chip recipe & the "too" healthy cho chip recipes that my husband isn't a fan of! This seemed to be a perfect balance of less butter but all the taste/sweetness he requires. He did request that I shorten the baking time to about 8 min for a softer cookie. I used Splenda & used 1 cup choc chips like others :-). I hope this will become my hubby's favorite!!

These are the best cookies ever! I fed these to my guys... no one knew the difference! These in no way taste low calorie! I cut the recipe in half, and it was too dry, so I added an extra egg white. Turned out perfect! Thanks!

These are the perfect chocolate chip cookie! I love them because they are chewy! I made them last weekend and no one guessed they were from Cooking Light (and I didn't tell.) I do confess, I used 1 C. chocolate chips - 1) because it's half of a 12oz bag and 2) I like chocolate chip cookies because of the chocolate chips! No regrets!

I will never make Tollhouse cookies again. These are wonderful- a big hit with everone. I used eggbeaters instead of eggwhites, dark brown sugar and just a tad more chocolate chips. You really can't tell a difference between these and a "regular" recipe.
