Honestly, some of you need to realize this recipe is not supposed to be completely healthy for you, but just a better alternative. If you have a sweet tooth you might as well indulge in one of these as oppose to a white flour cookie which is not processed as easily. Just enjoy, personally, I prefer this recipe rather than any white flour ones, just substitute stevia or truvia for the sugar and your saving yourself more calories and fat.

Healthy??!!??
Come on people, using Splenda, NutraSweet, Sucralose is NOT a good choice either. Do your research....this stuff is bad. I have a friend who is a Neurosurgeon....he can tell by looking at brain tissue of patients in surgery who use these products.The brain tissue is a different color!!! Some day the FDA will fess up that these products are not safe. The chemical in Nutrasweet was orginally being developed as a pestiside. Like I said, do the research!!! SMALL amounts of SUGAR are a better choice.

Whose idea of healthy?
How are these any different from any other recipe? For healthy, I want low fat, high fiber, nutrition. Nothing wrong with a chocolate chip cookie every now and again, but to call these healthy is silly. They're high in fact, high in sugar, and low in nutrition.
And those of you using I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, read the label. It's only "0 calories" (actually 4) if you use only 5 sprays. If you use it in bulk it's almost as many calories as regular oil because it IS almost all oil! Many people don't read labels, and wonder why they're not losing weight when they're practically DRINKING this stuff believe it to be 0 calories. Nope!

Cookie Dough Lovers
The recipe is fine, but although I love Chocolate Chip cookies, I like Chocolate Chip Cookie dough better. Here's a tip for those who like the dough better than the cookie AND how to save more calories than this recipe. In place of butter/lard, use Fat-free Promise margarine and replace the egg with 1/8c of milk. Yes, it'll be a bit "runny" for dough, but you FREEZE the dough in a covered bowl and just scoop out a cookie or two at at time when you're in the mood. This way you cut out virtually all the fat (except for in the chocolate chips and flour) AND you have dough you can eat without fear of poisoning yourself from a contaminated egg. Note: it does NOT bake well.

Chocolate chip cookies
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. 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.......

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Will definitely try these out, but you can save more calories and reduce the sugar content by replacing the white sugar with stevia...don't recommend splenda and artifical sweeteners (taste bad and are terrible for your health). Would love to see more recipes include stevia instead of sugar. Thanks.

parchment paper
might i suggest to anyone trying this recipe to try baking them on parchment paper? one reviewer found them too crumbly. i have not personally tried this recipe, but thought i would throw that out there. i agree with one person, whole wheat flour is actually *sweeter* than white flour. i have recently been diagnosed with HBP, and am trying to wean my daughter off *white* breads, ect for her future health. she is five and i know its what she learns now...

Haven't tried this recipe yet but as a nutritionist and personal trainer I "healthify" recipes all the time. Changes I would make that shouldn't alter the end result.
Use splenda brown sugar blend instead of straight brown sugar. Use Stevia or Erythritol (brand name is Z sweet) instead of sugar. (these are natural products). Replace the butter with unsweetened applesauce. Keep the oil but you could use Enova oil.
For the diabetics out there just these changes are better but Hershey's also makes a sugar free choc chip.
To increase protein content you could throw a bit of vanilla protein powder in and or add some nuts but that will also bring the fat up (but you already decreased the fat by eliminating the butter....so add some heart healthy nuts).

How did the recipe work with the unsweetened Applesauce? Since Splenda and Aspartame are so terribly unhealthy, I won't use them, but would like to try the Applesauce, or Agava, or Sucanat.

How to make these healthier and tastier
**Gave these a 3, because I have not tried this recipe yet. I have a really great vegan recipe that is similar. Instead of using an egg, try substituting half a banana. It gives the cookies a great flavor, and now there is 0 cholesterol!

Ok Instead of just revamping using your own products and people and not really going for healthy, "healthified" is like Truthyness, a sound bike that could fool almost anyone in to thinking the statement is true. Where is the applesauce and oatmeal in this cookie? How about lowering the sugar level with some splenda? How about a taste of black strap instead of brown sugar? Hello?

As one other person noted/asked: What IS one serving? How can a diabetic, for example, use the exchange when he or she doesn't know what a serving is? Sounds like it would be a good cookie, but with my husband being diabetic, I would have to know what a serving is. Please, don't put up what a serving contains without saying what a serving IS.

SUGAR!
I haven't tried this recipe, I have healthified my own version of chocolate chip cookies. What totally amazes me about recipe changing is the lack of regard for the sugar content! Commercially made cookies put too much sugar to create an addiction to the stuff so you will crave and buy more. So if you want to be healthier, why don't you cut down on the sugar to start killing the addiction?
I make chocolate chip cookies with 1/2 to 3/4 cup brown sugar only. White sugar is rarely used in my household. The chocolate chips add more sugar. I usually use half and half the whole wheat flour/ unbleached flour. Add a tablespoon of flax meal or wheat germ also. Haven't tried the canola oil, but will try it next time. Other than the sugar and use of some white flour, my recipe is about the same.
My former coffeehouse customers and my children gobbled them up and never knew the difference!

Healthy?
This recipe is basically the old "Toll House" recipe with slight modification. 1 egg instead of 2-less chips-wheat flour. Why not use a sugar substitute such as splenda and egg substitute instead of real eggs--better for diabetics and those watching colesterol. Tastes just the same.

Weak!
These have too much oil and not nearly enough chocolate!
I make the standard Tollhouse recipe but substitute Splenda for the white sugar and add 1 Tbs cinnamon. Use whole wheat flour and organic everything (butter, flour, etc.) I beg my neighbors for eggs from their free-roaming hens most of the time when I make cookies.
These cookies may have fewer calories than standard ones, but everyone in my family complained about the scanty chocolate and my husband noticed that they left big grease spots on the paper towel he used... "these aren't your normal cookies... they stink." Oh well!

could be better
I have made the tollhouse recipe for years with only1 stick of butter and I have never needed to add apple sauce or oil (nor do I need to spray my cookie tray, tho that can't hurt). My cookies are gone before they have a chance to see the inside of a tupperware or baggie!
Also, before adding Splenda to cookies that you are serving your kids, think about the health trade off you are making. Do you KNOW that Splenda is OK for consumption or do you trust that the FDA is telling you all there is to know. It's not about a conspiracy, it's that Splenda is a chemical made from sugar, but is' not entirely sugar. Kids can have sugar in moderation. I'm sure they aren't eating the entire batch at one time. A couple cookies never hurt a child!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

just blah
Made these cookies last night...threw away the recipe! they had a strange taste i guess that was from the oil. the wheat would have been ok but the oil just did not cut it. would not recomend these. the lower calorie and fat was not worth the taste

Alot of fat for one cookie
I forgot to mention, that it seems to still have alot of fat for one cookie...How much applesauce did you use for the recipe?

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!

I've got a tip!
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! :)

Cookes
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!

GREAT cookies!
I thought these cookies were fabulous! My boyfriend loved them and so did all of his buddies. He thought they tasted a little like snickerdoodle cookies, but that's not a bad thing! Will definately be making these again!

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.......

Excellent find!
I have made chocolate chip cookies for years and always felt guilty for how fattening they were. Then I found these and love the taste and the lower calorie count! My friends love the new taste as well. Excellent choice for a go-to cookie!

Very tasty
I made these with a bit of skepticism, however, after I made them for my boyfriend and they were gone two days later, I realized just how delicious they really were! He had no idea they were healthy!

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!
