I was really pleased with how these cookies turned out. I substituted Splenda for the 1/4 cup of white sugar. Instead of the 6 TBS butter, I used 2 TBS light butter, 3 TBS unsweetened applesauce, and 1 TBS margarine (an odd mix, I know; I was using what I had on hand). I used 1 cup of white flour and 1/2 cup of wheat flour. Finally, as another reviewer suggested, I made sure the water I added was HOT water. I did chill the dough for a short time and baked the cookies for 10 minutes. They came out brown and the flavor was great; however, they are cake-like. I am so pleased that this yolk-free recipe tastes so good and my husband had to ask what was different to make them light.

I really enjoy the taste of these cookies, but mine turned out like cake cookies. I did switch the butter to 3 table spoons shortening and and individual cup of unsweetened apple sauce. Everything else I kept the same. Maybe a few more chocolate chips!!! So like I said if you like cake cookies, try it with shortening, the flavour was great, but next time I will try butter.

By far, the best chocolate chip cookie I've ever made! I doubled the chocolate chips to increase the chocoliciousness!

This is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I've ever tried. The fact that its lower in fat is an added bonus. My cookies came out perfect-crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside. I did increase the amount of chocolate chips because I love chocolate so much. :) Great recipe!

Just like the last reviewr said, these don't seem light because they are so buttery. I loved the flavor, but I only gave it 4 stars because they were too thin and crispy for me.

Wonderful! You don't feel like you are eating anything light. I added more chocolate chips than called for.

This is the kind of recipe I have been looking for for years!! +++++++ I made a few substitutions. I added 1 tsp vanilla, 3/4C white unbleached flour, 1/2C whole wheat flour and 1/4C ground salba. They turned out absolutely delicious and my kids love love love them!!

The cookies were pretty good for light cookies, although the next day they fell apart into crumbs.

Really light and fluffy, even though I followed another's suggestion of cutting back on the fat and using applesauce.

it deffiantely tastes "low fat" despite what other reviews say. my family said they could taste that it was low fat however it was very good for a cookie with a significent lower calorie and fat count. i however would rather eat a couple hundred more calories and get a more satisfying taste, however deffiantely not a "bad cookie"

After reading reviews left by other users, I decided to substitute some ingredients: 3/4 cup Splenda baking sugar (for brown sugar), 1/4 cup Brown sugar (for white sugar), 3tbsp of margarine & 3tbsp of applesauce (for butter). I also added a teaspoon of baking powder instead of 3/4 teaspoon, a little bit more chocolate chips & about 1/4 cup of walnut. The cookies tasted very good. (And they are significantly lower in calories :) I actually liked the other chocolate cookie recipes on this website, too. But, for a healthy snack, I will be using this recipe :) Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

I love this recipe. My kids love it and so do all the neighbor kids. The only change I made is to use 1 cup of chocolate chips instead of just half a cup. I also used milk chocolate chips because thats my preference.

EASY yes FAST yes TEXTURE fine TASTE not the same as a regular chocolate chip cookie. Basicly a good cookie, but the taste wasn't the same. Right when my brother tasted one, he said, "What kind of cookie is this?" I told him chocolate chip. He said it tasted different..However, my other brother preferred these over another cookie I made, but he's only eight. I didn't know if I should give this recipe a four or five star rating. But, because it low fat, you should expect it to taste different. So I gave it five stars because it still tasted good.

Very yummy cookies. Crisp/crunchy on the edges and soft goodness in the middle. I usually use the Toll House recipe but only had one egg and really wanted chocolate chip cookies. I love that it is a smaller batch of cookies too, since I usually eat a ton of them!
