I gave one to my husband, who hates anything lowfat, and he couldn't tell the difference. Thank you for the recipe. I will be visiting your blog and cooking light much more frequently!

Sometimes, my cookies come out flat too - even after all of the MANY times that I have made them! I have learned that if you follow all the right steps, and they still come out flat, one of these three things is usually responsible: 1. The baking powder/baking soda used is not quite fresh 2. There is a high amount of humidity in the air (which causes the flour in the dough to absorb excess moisture and makes the dough "heavy") 3. The dough was just a little too "warm" when the cookies were scooped (you want your dough at *about* room temperature when scooped, but if it is very warm in the room, they will spread too rapidly once placed in the oven) Hope that helps!

Said they were the best chocolate chip cookies they ever had! Although when i made mine they did come out a bit thin and not as fluffy as the ones pictured. Not quite sure why. I didn't substitute low-fat butter and my pans were not hot. Maybe next time they'll be fluffier! Either way they were delicious! Just made these today and got rave reviews!

I have been trying to find a tasty, low-calorie chocolate chip cookie and these definitely fit the bill! Thanks for this GREAT post!! To Deborah- I used half the sugar and they were perfect! You might want to also try using fewer chocolate chips as these can make them too sweet also. Great recipe!!

Next time I might cut the sugar some. Do you think cutting it in half would be too drastic and ruin the taste? These turned out really good but they were a little sweet for me.
