Following with the Sunday recipe tradition (which has helped me FINALLY learn how to spell recipe), I found this one for chocolate chip cookies.
According to McClathy Newspapers writer Kathy Manweiler, these lower-fat cookies have about 30 percent fewer calories and 36 percent less fat than the store-bought dough. These cookies and a cup of fat-free milk are a yummy snack with 240 calories and less than nine grams of fat, Manweiler wrote.
I'm not a fan of dark chocolate chips, so I'd use the Nestle Toll House semisweet chocolate morsels.
Here the recipe.
