"For our health, my stepson and I have to lose weight. His heart health is a very important factor. I play with recipes to cut transfat and sugars while adding filling fiber. This recipe is based on a Toll House Chocolate Chip cookie recipe in a 1957 version of the Betty Crocker cook book. They are soft, chewy and buttery."
