Author's Comments

These cookies are great. They are very sweet though. I've only used anegg white when I've made these. Also, the dough is kind of crumbly. I ended up kind of forming them with a spoon and my hands into little balls. My experience was that they only took about 8 minutes to bake. I let them cool on the sheets for about 5 minutes before easily moving themto cooling racks. The dough makes them look like they're not going to turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised the first time I made them. You won't be able to tell that they're low calorie and low fat. ENJOY! Let me know if you like them.

TEASPOONFUL>?! Sounds like it'll bake out to the size of a nickel...not very encouraging...especially when you've got a cookie fix...Those Apex brand protein cookies I buy at the gym may not be Mrs. Fields, but it's a hearty portion, thick and filling, it does the job...Oh, and by the way, taking any regular recipe, taking out the fat with no kind of substitute and cutting the serving size down to a fraction doesn't sound very satisfying to me...and that's just what that recipe appears to be.

The heaping teaspoons made big 3 inch cookies-perfect for my kids, and not nickle sized at all. It was helpful to know that the dough was supposed to be a bit crumbly. I used regular sized chocolate chips since it was all that I had. They took the full 10 minutes to bake. They tasted just like the regular chocolate chip cookies - gooey, chocolate-ly - not low fat at all. The receipe made about 25 cookies and they are already gone.

Does anyone know how many calories this recipe
is or do we just classify it as "low-calorie"?

I've seen this same recipe elsewhere, and my understanding is that if they're small (one rounded tsp of dough when you're dropping them on the sheet) they're 60 kCal's apiece. If you want something lower cal, try looking for recipes that use corn syrup and/or applesauce, or modify this one with "fake" sugar. Hope this helps.

Great! I substituted apple sauce for margarine and carob chips for chocolate chips - equal amounts and Ornish friendly diet..

I love these cookies! I found if you double the portion of vanilla (by accident..oops!) it makes the dough really creamy and solves the crumbly problem!

I also wanted to disagree with the last comment about the portion size being cut down dosen't solve the problem. No one really needs a huge cookie everytime the craving strikes. Everything in moderation, and these cookies fit the bill perfectly!

Wonderful! I substituted equal amounts of apple sauce for margarine and carob chips for chocolate chips... tastes great and addicting!

Great cookie. 82 calories per serving. I added nuts and some almond extract and that might be the cause for this cookie being so flat. Very good.

Extremely good and very satisfying. If traditional Tollhouse choc. chip cookies are a 10 then these low-cal/low-fat cookies are at least a 9. Easy to make, but I only got 20 cookies out of my batch. The texture is slightly different from traditional cookies, but overall, an excellent substitute! My kids loved them.

Perfect size cookies. Recipe only made 12 for me, cooked them for 12 minutes and they're still very gooey. Not the best cookies, but they're edible.. :)
