Surprised
My grandchildren gobbled these up! I had my doubts about the amount of mini chips, but they were perfect. Noone knew they were "healthified".

Good Cookie!
I was a little skeptical about this recipe but made them for my cookie-loving spouse and daughter: They loved them...said that with a few macadamia nut pieces added the cookies would rival Pepperidge Farm (will try that next).

Awesome
Since receiving the book with this recipe in it I have made them over and over. Everyone likes them. But, I do measure 1/4 cup of dough and stick firm to the baking so that centers are soft. Break cookie in half and share.

Wow
Chocolate Chip, my husbands favorite, we love the fact that they are soft & chewy. The only differance I noticed from my usual recipe was the consistancy of the dough. The taste is awsome, you can't tell that it's a "healthified' cookie you can't tell by taste like you can with so many other "diet or low fat" recipes. It has replaced & become my new usual recipe.

Great Cookies
I have baked these cookies twice, once not using wax paper then using wax paper during the baking process. I must say the wax paper is a must have for these cookies, they come out so much better. Our kids think they are getting the real thing when I bake them. As a new baker I am going to keep this recipe for years to come. Thanks!!

healthified chocolate chip cookies
I tried this recipe several weeks ago and it is now officially the favorite chocolate chip cookie of my husband and me. It has never failed and the taste and texture is perfect.

umm....what?
1st of all let me say it's great to use ww flour and less butter, and I'm sure these cookies are delicious. I've made a recipe very similar to this and you wouldn't know there was anything different about them.
2nd--"Healified"--may be stretching it. This still has a whopping full cup of fat and a whopping 1.5 cups of sugar! I expected to see either a meringue cookie with choc chips (delicious BTW) or a cookie with applesauce instead of some of the fat and sugar.

Turned out very moist
I made these cookies over the weekend and they turned out so moist. I did make a few variations to the recipe. First I substituted egg beaters for the one egg, same amount of applesauce for the oil, and I can't believe it's not butter for the butter. I also used half whole wheat flour and half regular flour. The cookies are so moist and everyone has been snatching them up!

One more thing...
I added 1/2 c. chopped pecans with the chocolate chips to get more protein. This increased the calorie count, but the protein's worth it to me. :)

Is the serving 1 cookie? Two? A little hard to determine if these are worth it if you don't know.

cookies
For the person who had no luck with these. As a culinary arts instructor it sounds like you might have left them on the sheet pan too long after baking which will make them hard (take off pan after 2 minutes). Also, try using parchment paper or a silpat baking mat to avoid sticking. Dark metal pans will also cause over baking and sticking.

Healthified Chocolate Chip Cookie
I made these yesterday, and was actually surprised how good they are! They have a very chewy texture and lots of flavor! Now the biggest problem is trying to keep my hand out of the cookie jar! Try them, you'll like them!

Healthified chocolate chip cookies
Very good cookies. I also used Splenda for the sugars and used 1/3 cup of the brown splenda. They did not go flat as in the picture. I used my icecream scoop and they stayed big. I also used "I can't believe it's butter" In place of regular butter.

I followed the recipe exactly and these cookies did not turn out very good. They were hard and crumbly. I had a very difficult time just trying to get them off the cookie sheet without falling apart! I know there healthier and better tasting cookies out there than these!

Heathified Cookies
another way to cut down on the fat is to substitute all natural apple sauce (no sugar added) for the oil - just make sure you use a non stick cooking spray such as the canola oils as they are better for you on your baking sheet

Tried the recipe with applesauce
I made these with applesauce, instead of oil, and I was not impressed with the results. The taste was fine, but I definitely would not serve these cookies at a party or special event because of their appearance. I may have also pulled them out of the oven too early because they were pretty flat and gray. Next time, I'll try making them with the oil and I'm sure the result will be much better.

Excellent!
I just made these cookies and they are teriffic. My husband loved them and he is a chocolate chip fanatic! We like cookies crisper so I baked them for 11 minutes instead of 9 - perfection! Also, I used a heaping teaspoon of dough and made 6dz 3in cookies. This recipe will definitely be made often!!

substitutes
I made 2 batches with this recipe. In the first batch, i substituted "i can't believe it's not butter" for the butter and 1/4 cup applesauce for the egg. the cookies were good (based on critics :) but a bit flat. In the second batch, i actually "messed" up. I used the same butter substitute, substituted 1/4 cup applesauce for the canola oil, but instead of substituting for the egg, i actually added the egg plus 1T water/1T flaxseed. The mixture was very sticky/doughy, so i added another 1/2 cup of flour. These actually baked up nice (not flat!) and were very soft/chewy. go figure!

Good taste
These cookies were tasty, but cannot be considered a like for like sustitution of my favorite recipe. My fav is much like the original. However, these save over 100 calories per cookie! Enjoyed as a treat, in moderation, they are a great addition to my recipe file.

What about ground flax seed?
One way these could be healthier is to replace the egg with one tablesp. of ground flax seed and three tablespoons of water. I do this with everything I bake and my family loves it (yes picky teenagers!) You can also replace oil with flax seed but it isn't as easy as 1 egg = 1 tbsp. flax seed, tbsp. water. Try it! Oh, btw don't use seeds, the ground stuff is best!

The Best!
These are the best cookies I have ever made! I am a student, and I took them to school where they disappeared in only 1 period! I did substitute 1/4 cup of applesauce for the egg.
P.S. Don't forget the canola oil!

Amazing recipe!
I haven't tried a better chocolate chip cookie recipe using wheat flour. To keep the cookie low fat, I substituted unsweetened applesauce in place of the oil, egg, and 1/2 the butter, and can't tell a difference in the taste AT ALL!
I'm not a fan of artificial sweeteners, so I didn't use Splenda like so many of you other peeps did. Still, I feel pretty good about my healthy cookies. :) Thanks for the recipe! It's a definite repeat. *munches on warm cookie*

No Butter
I baked these cookies while in a hurry one morning and was so excited to tell my friend that they're actually "healthy" as far as chocolate chip cookies go... He asked me about the recipe and that's when I realized that I never used any butter. They still turned out great!
Next time, try them with no butter.

Lower Fat Cookies
I have been substituting no-sugar-added APPLE SAUCE for sugar in my cookie recipes for years. I put a tablespoon of olive oil in the mix and spray the pan to help keep it from sticking. Plus, add some OATMEAL in it for some extra nutrition. After all these years, I still love my chocolate chip cookies this way - VERY LOW FAT!

You can eleminate even MORE calories by using Splenda granulated sugar, Splenda brown sugar & using only egg whites! That's what I do! It tastes great and you can eat more! :)

These cookies turned out so good. Who knew healthy could be this good. The only thing is that I used Hodgson Mill old fashioned Whole Wheat flour and it had a little more texture. All in all they were good.

healthified choc chip cookies
I have made these 3 times...the first time I felt there was too much oil (the chips wouldn't stick to the dough).Next time I cut the oil in 1/2 and it worked great. Everyone loved them all three times! Next time I plan to use applesauce in place of oil,egg and 1/2 butter and splendas as suggested by other reviews. I'd love to know the calorie/fat content made that way!

U Can Bring down the calorie I DID!
Well listen folks this cookie is even better when you use splenda sugar and splenda brown sugar. It drops the calories way down. As for the oil I am a gatric bypass paient and canola oil is the best to use.It is low in calories and no salt. Also use I cant belive its butter and for the chocolate chips use carob instead. As well to brag a little I have lost 180lbs since october 4th 2005 I feel blessed that I can have a sweet from time to time without going crazy God is Good.......

whole sugars, too
This recipe is similar to what I have come up with when I've experimented with this all-time favorite in our house. We love it! I think whole wheat even enhances cookies. But don't stop there: you still get the proper spreading ability and a much lower glycemic index by using half agave nectar (purely sweet, a great find) and half maple sugar (or use half maple syrup with the maple sugar if you can't find agave). These are *real* sugars but they don't throw your body for a loop metabolically or chemically - they are easy to metabolize.

Health"ified"
Please keep in mind that "Healthified" means better for you than the original recipe. It doesn't necessarily mean "Healthy". An apple would beat this any day of course.... however, for an occassional sweet treat or to slowly acclimate your family towards eating healthier, go for it!! :-)

My husband is super picky and gripes about anything I try to healthify! :) He smelled them baking and asked if I was making cookies. I told him yes and gave him one fresh out of the oven. He LOVED them. The texture reminds me of the Neimann Marcus cookie recipe. This was a fantastic recipe!
