Recipe Break!, Pt. 2

       Can't live without those cookies? Well. Now you don't have to. Regular chocolate chip cookies, made from following the directions on a Nestle Tollhouse bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips, are 78 calories. That doesn't seem like MUCH, but when you put into consideration that 48 of the calories are from fat, and that the dough that was supposed to have been measured out with a tablespoon (who does that?), then you begin to see why it's a bit of a problem. These low-fat versions of the classics taste great AND are a much better choice when you are craving something sweet.
