Wonderful cookies which are easy to modify to meet your own taste!

This is a great recipe by itself, but I even made a few of my own modifications to make these cookies even healthier. 1. I replaced half of the butter with Vanilla Low-Fat Natural Yogurt 2. I replaced half of the granulated sugar with natural honey (you could probably even substitute all of it, maybe the same for the butter/yogurt) 3. I used dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate 4. I added in a cup of slivered almonds for some extra protein and flavor
Great recipe which was very fun to alter and experiment with! VERY tasty cookies!

Pros: Tasty cookies and very easy

I like your changes and agree

I like your changes and agree the yogurt would likely make a suitable replacement for the butter. Might you have any suggestions for high-altitude modifications for your version of this recipe?

I love these cookies!

I have been using this recipe since is first was published in 2004. The first time I made them, I used the almond meal and loved it so much I always make them that way. Some day I'll try the oatmeal.

Guiltless Pleasure

OK, I just made these and added cinnamon,flax seed and used 2/3 c. Brown Sugar Splenda and dark chocolate chips. I also added applesauce to make the texture of the dough a little more moist. Don't overcook them! Be sure to pat then down because they don't spread out .They are slightly more cake like than I prefer my cookies but were very good and my hubby loves them. Always looking for healthier goody for the Gkids!

Pros: Chocolatey and sweet
