How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookies Healthier

4 secrets to a healthier chocolate chip cookie.

I’m a skeptic. So when I hear the words “healthy” and “cookie” together, I imagine biting into something that tastes like particle board. Add “chocolate chip” to that equation and now you’ve really lost me. There is no possible way to preserve the integrity of this sacred cookie while making it healthy without completely screwing it up. Or is there?

That was my stance, until I tried our Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie. It’s downright delicious and has 66% less saturated fat than traditional recipes. What are the secrets to a healthier chocolate chip cookie that still tastes amazing?
