How to make Chocolate Chip Cookies healthier
Use a lower-fat margarine with plant sterols in place of stick butter or margarine in your chocolate chip cookie recipe. You can decrease the sugar by a fourth, and replace half the white flour with whole-wheat flour. Using a bit fewer chocolate chips will also shave some calories and fat grams.
I tried these last night. I didn’t have lower-fat margarine, but I did decrease the sugar by 1/3 and replaced over half the flour with whole wheat flour. They didn’t flatten out like regular cookies, but they satisfied the sweet tooth and I didn’t feel as guilty eating them. 🙂
