Spotlight Recipe: Chocolate Chip Cookies
Mmm, chocolate chip cookies are my absolute favorite. So when I came across this EatingWell recipe, I had to share. You might question a cookie being healthy, but these babies come in at under 100 calories each. Mind you, there are some changes from the classic Tollhouse version, including whole-wheat flour, rolled oats and canola oil. Use dark chocolate chips to up your daily antioxidant dose. And remember, these are yummy so don’t overdo it!
i made this recipe and the cookies are amazing
they have just the right amount of sweetness and are light and moist!
I think there is hardly a person who does not like chocolate chip cookies. They taste so good and are handy. But you made an important note – “antioxidant dose”. This ingredient helps the body dispose of toxins.
Under a hundred calories is pretty good! But what are other choc chip cookies like in calories. Like a Subway cookie, or chips-a-hoy? How high are those? Just in comparison?
These cookies taste fantastic! But guaranteed NO ONE is making TEASPOON sized cookies and so most peoples results are going to be greater than 100 calories per cookie. Tasty though!
I love these cookies.
I haven’t tried to make these cookies, but I’ll note that they have about 15 more calories per heaping teaspoon full than the bagged Betty Crocker mix. I think the only thing “healthy” about these cookies is the size and maybe a minute amount of extra fiber from the whole wheat flour and rolled oats.
I’ve been having a craving to make some choc chip cookies. This recipe sounds really good, I never thought of grinding up the oatmeal… it’ll be hard to eat just one!
A heaping teaspoon means you use a regular spoon…not an actual measuring teaspoon.
I just heard today is National Chocolate Chip Day! These would be a perfect sweet to celebrate with.
Yeah, not seeing the BIG difference these have over other cookies – slightly better but not “healthy”. I’d replace the oil with applesauce, or with a banana can even leave out the egg. I’d add Milled Flax seed and Hazelnut flour for added nutrients. The ratios would all be different (not the same recipe), but I think I have a “healthier” cookie?
