Much better low-fat cookies...this one's for you Brandon & Lindsey B.

So below this post you'll see a post for different lowfat chocolate chips cookies. We tried this different recipe tonight for FHE and they are awesome! They taste a lot better than the other ones. I found the recipe on allrecipes.com and we tweaked it some. I think they're about 40-50 calories each. We calculated the total calories of all the ingredients and got 6 dozen cookies out of the recipe. So they'll be a little more or less depending on the size of the cookies (we did average size). Just to give you an idea...other recipes for this kind of cookie on that site had up to 200 calories each. They're lowfat and have a lot more flavor and better texture than the others. Can you tell we're fans? Enjoy...
