Finally Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies! image

I found this recipe on a heart healthy recipe site. I made them and they are incredible! I couldn't believe it! They are the lowest fat/cholesterol/sodium chocolate chip cookies I've had that actually taste great! I did change it a bit when I made them by using 1/2 C whole wheat flour and 1/2 C all purpose flour.

I love these cookies but I really wanted to try to make them a little lighter. I actually used sweet potato puree for some of the butter and juice squeezed from an orange for some of the sugar and they still taste great. It sounds a little odd but try it!!
